Don't forget these guys are the teenagers of the 70's who started this great tradition! Easy to mock when we are young, but time goes by incredibly fast, they are remembering and having a great time!!!
it's not a case of remembering my friend. It's the fact that they can't & never will forget. If this world turns for another 100 million years, there will NEVER be another musical phenomenon as big & time tested as Northern Soul
Yes Joan. Agree 100%. I was one of them. Don’t really miss it as I still play the music. Remember all the DJs - Glenn, Delbert, Rich etc etc - still have the vinyl - 7” originals and dub versions. Love it 😊
Thanks for posting. I'm an American trying to learn Northern Soul dancing. TH-cam videos that focus on dancers in full length that don't jump cut around every 2 seconds are great. I will be studying the "footage" very carefully. All the best, Gottlieb
look up Dance Culture by Aranivah [i think she might be Mexican ?] anyway she is a great teacher of Northern Soul, and really breaks down the steps..She is the best iv'e seen.
We use to dance at Wigan casino ,I remember ,The locamotion was in the charts top 20 at the time ,We were always dancing to that ! Everybody enjoyed them self's ,Great atmosphere
When I recovered from an illness that caused me to loss weight, I realized I was back to my 70's weight. I immediately went shopping on Ebay for the 70's fashion clothes and shoes. Now I have a vintage collection and my wife wears a big smile.
The lady dancing to Dee Clarks That`s My Girl is only one in whole vid who looks like she`s really enjoying herself out on the floor. Come on people lets see more smiles and jollity from you. Remember it`s all about the music and having fun . Regardless of age or anything else we`re all a long time dead. KTF ALWAYS.
I Agree' ..... & It also gives them the reason for Diggin Out that 3 60 Skirt...... & Without commin across too pervie ! LOVELY..Xxx KEEP THE FAITH~ Brothers&Sisters ~ Xxx
NORTHERN SOUL which was a collection of rare soul records from all over the u.s that where overlooked by big record labels which as a result made the music wider known but if your not from the uk prodomently northern england you wouldnt know this! we had clubs built on rare soul. so all in all it was and still is a great scene with great music and great people. So mr " i know everything about soul" do some research
I've been going to Northern Do's since the age of 13 and Took my Mum and Dad... and other half, to the Lowther Gardens All-Niter, Lytham St. Annes a couple of years ago... and they danced ll night!!... the one with the live pictures of the groups and songs in the background... which I'd thought of years before, but well done young man!! great night out, by the way my Mum is 75 and Dad is 80.. so do the 'math. as the Yanks would say.. :-) Away you go.. have a see and have a great time! XX
Fair play to the capturing of many of the participating individuals soul on a dance floor. How else do we get a new breed of floorfillers if you don't promote the best of what we have? I'm 19 clem and can still make some moves for a fat fella. Rare is great, but won't get a new generation. We keep the faith, but we must also educate a wanting generation; share your experiences and dance like there is nobody watching. Keep the faith!
come to the fed all dayer in gateshead in 2 weeks time and u will see the best dancers you will ever see in your life ! and non of them women ! but who really cares if woman is better than man ! if they have a passion for northern soul ? ktf micky p in the toon
Well, you won't if you're looking at a bunch of middle-aged fools goin out to the local disco to hone thier "Stupid dance we saw on TH-cam N/S clips"!!
Betty Wright- tonight is the night... Bostin' tune!!! Right, return favour needed please anybody. The tune from 3.40?? To much fun adlin' me memory synapses..Eat yer tate's. x
this might just work for my mum, shes been looking for a good video of northern soul dancing as she wants to at least try to give it a go, I dont now what stopped here when she was younger. only possible problem is, shes 61 now with a bad hip, i think i'd better learn some first aid before i show her this lol
hmm best dancers not entirely convinced,tho' there's a fair few with nice moves,but nothing compared to the late great chantel bateman,now she was outstandingly good,and didnt have an ego to match
I don’t think the Wigan casino was closed because they wanted to build an extension, I think they closed it to deliberately get rid of the dance hall so all the the young northern soul people had nowhere to go. So the movement would stop.
ask her to make a video tutorial of her moves! for me! :( I want real bad to learn this dance. There's not many North American northern soul dancers...
can someone please list all the songs, the only one i can work out is the second one: Time - Edwin Star I am really falling under the spell of this genre i specifically want to know the one at 1:00
Will today's teens still be dancing the way they do now in 40+ years time? the same way these people & 1000s more besides around the country did 40+ years ago. NO CHANCE
It is a sort of disco'd version of Betty Wright's, "Tonight is the Night". It was a song she composed based on her own life experience as a teen. She was a great one from the 70's. Hearing that song brought back a lot of fond memories for me growing up in the 70's. She'd have to be in her 60's now, I do believe.
Love ALL the music and the dancing but being a southern jessie I thought it's just for the northerners. Are you soulboy mods? Confused. We call that music soul. Thet john newman video got me interested.
I am 66 soon after April fools day 3 days after first of April fool who didn't say the 3 words at the times of dollars and dimes and cents and every penny counts getting in dancehall penance of 3 words could have sadly sailing across dance northern soulful day's to the one i had loved would have got me killed like Jesus on a silver Cross ✝️ chains of events in the streets of Broadway shopping centre Mecca of nightlife Bradford UK citizens of clubhouses to dance till the morning light to hearts 💕 contentment it was Christmas Everyday and night howling do I love you
I love this music, but the dancing is so weirdly anglo. I know this is a cultural phenomenon, but I don't get the whiteness of the moves to this music. It's funny how white people always regiment everything into little, precise treasures of movement. Kind of makes me want to watch a Soul Train line dance or the WattStax documentary. I guess this is how people in Manchester get down.
Oh you are so right. But it didnt use to be like this back in the early 70`s, man you should have seen the dancers bak then, it would have blown your mind! Lots of black cats used to go back then as well. Now I`m sad to say you are watching a bunch of middle aged people doing some sad generic steps; so depressing when I remember 1000 cool people just tearing the house down.I dont want to watch this shit, i prefer my memories.
57dogsbody At the end of the day and despite your own personal memories which is irrelevant to those dancing these people are enjoying themselves dancing to music they love. That's all it is. Pure enjoyment. Always dance like nobody is watching.
Don't forget these guys are the teenagers of the 70's who started this great tradition! Easy to mock when we are young, but time goes by incredibly fast, they are remembering and having a great time!!!

Fantastic stuff there 👏👏👏👏
Yes Joan. Agree 100%. I was one of them. Don’t really miss it as I still play the music. Remember all the DJs - Glenn, Delbert, Rich etc etc - still have the vinyl - 7” originals and dub versions. Love it 😊
I remember the first dancer from back in the day very distinctive style
Thanks for posting. I'm an American trying to learn Northern Soul dancing. TH-cam videos that focus on dancers in full length that don't jump cut around every 2 seconds are great. I will be studying the "footage" very carefully. All the best, Gottlieb

And here we have it. Why I will never go back
NORTHERN SOUL which was a collection of rare soul records from all over the u.s that where overlooked by big record labels which as a result made the music wider known but if your not from the uk prodomently northern england you wouldnt know this! we had clubs built on rare soul. so all in all it was and still is a great scene with great music and great people. So mr " i know everything about soul" do some research
I'm in love
I like the older traditional dancers all guys. There are a few women.
for my money the girl at 220 has it nailed !
Yep totally agree... her next to her in the black should look n learn.....
Well, they look like they are enjoying themselves, bless em.
This is great...x
I'd love to go to one of these events
I've been going to Northern Do's since the age of 13 and Took my Mum and Dad... and other half, to the Lowther Gardens All-Niter, Lytham St. Annes a couple of years ago... and they danced ll night!!... the one with the live pictures of the groups and songs in the background... which I'd thought of years before, but well done young man!! great night out, by the way my Mum is 75 and Dad is 80.. so do the 'math. as the Yanks would say.. :-) Away you go.. have a see and have a great time! XX
I don't know where the second woman learnt to dance but she needs to give it up
Hey, she's feeling it and that's what matters, at least she's not hand bagging, go for it girl
You go Girls.!,
The opening sequence is just bizarre, part of me wishes nsoul scene folded 20yr ago before it descended to this level
Just what I was thinking, it's tragic seeing these old dears making fools of themselves.
she's on speed ha ha ha
What a pair of sours
If anyone went to soul clubs in the early to mid 70's they would have a lot to say about this selection.
The dancing has changed some what since the mid 70s
Work in progress l am afraid in Scarborough.
Fair play to the capturing of many of the participating individuals soul on a dance floor. How else do we get a new breed of floorfillers if you don't promote the best of what we have?
