    Time of the Season - The Zombies - What dance style?

    Tempo is too fast for international rumba, and a bit sprightly for American. I'd be tempted to try nightclub two-step, although I'm not sure the "feel" of the song works. But yeah, it would be very cool to be able to choreo something to that organ solo.
