northern soul moves

I think this is from a J Video diary broadcast on Tvs in 1998. Or maybe not. Nice moves either way.

i agree with 3b48

tricks & flicks etc are ok when u no the song

dont dance 4 other people (showin off)

dance 4 your own enjoyment & lv of the music people will watch U more & admire u more for "aving a go" & lvin the music

thats true it had to be made of wood the dance floor so it was shining polished real nice and lots of powder on it to take all the swet away and make it slipery like the ice skat ring, as most did come from the ice rings they use to play a lot good music there too.

@RitmoNo1 But where's the evolution? Northern dancing (and clothing) was never static in the early years (1970-73) and changed with the tides. Only with the mass Wigan influx after 1975 did a so-called Northern Soul 'style' of dressing and dancing become eternally set in amber, like some fossilised fruit fly. Wigan Casino was ahead of the game in just one respect - it pre-empted Jurassic Park.

@drwhatson Well - think about it - Breaking, Popping and Locking came out in New York in the late 70's and it is still used today in pop videos etc. Is that contemporary? If contempoary moves were used it would cease to be Northern Soul style - I mean a Waltz is still a Waltz decades after the creation. I have to agree with you though about the clothes - I was never a big fan even though I wore them at the time.

"Northern Soul moves..." (Yeah right, C.Torch 1972!!)

When, Oh when are they going to actually EVOLVE and adopt some contemporary moves (and clothing!)? It's a damned joke.
