Study origins of Georgian and Latin American dance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

conga

'latin american dance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'study origins of georgian and' is the wordplay.
'study' becomes 'con' (I've seen this before).
'origins of' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'georgian and' is 'ga'.
'con'+'ga'='CONGA'

(Other definitions for conga that I've seen before include "Latin-American dance" , "Cuban dance of three steps followed by a kick" , "Single-file dance" , "Line-dancing" , "Long-line dance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
