I've been in to Northern soul since i was 14, I'm 60 now and still attend soul venues and dance. Once you hear Northern soul your hooked for life KTF

[garethdodd]

Thats northern soul dancing, just like we did back in the day, im 63 can still keep up.

[anthonybrown]

This the hundred club in London.Iconic venue. Isn't it great to see people who love their music freaking out to fantastic northern soul music. And getting immersed in the whole thing. No apologies, no regrets and great dancing steps.

Good to see that they're not just actors...enjoying the music. You can't act that passion!

I’m ill now with a brain problem lucky enough to grow up with this, in my mind forever

[HolmeClaret]

No matter where I am or what I’m doing, soul makes me feel happier the minute I start listening.

Brilliant - absolutely brilliant, it is a testimony to the scene as it then was and hopefully it will long endure. We need a younger generation to take over from us and love this music as we all did then and do now. Well done Ms Constantine. Thank you.

I think it's fantastic these youngsters are keeping it going. I was 10yrs too young to appreciate the scene but I've always loved the music on account of my elder northern Soulie cousin who used to play us her records and show us the dances. Thus, I've always listened to the music and now my 18yr old daughter is obsessed with Northern Soul. I really do hope these young people can keep it going or it will just die away and be forgotten.

I knew one day that it would come back. I danced and danced to Northern soul when I was young in the 70's. The male dancers were especially fantastic. I wasnt old enough to go to the Wigan Casino, but my neighbours did and told me how fantastic it was.

[lesliejones]

Love this I was there at the casino brings tears to my eyes looking at this such a good time, Black music from America that conquered the North of England and no where else😊

[CarolAnnRunham]

It's fantastic to see the younger generation dancing to Northern soul our young soul sisters and brothers keep the faith ✌️👬👭👫👬👭👫🎶

[soulfulshoes]

Leave these kids alone, watchin` this brought a tear to my eye, they looked like they felt it to me, as for havin` their eyes shut and singin` along with the That`s called feelin` it in my book, & i was there 75 - 2013 & counting!

[steveilott]

Once bitten, there’s no going back. It’s with you forever.✊

[andyallen]

Absolutely brilliant dance moves, great to see this generation of youth enjoying the scene, although not everyone sang their heart out on the dancefloor they just absorbed the music and atmosphere and danced to great music !

[paulselkirk]

[kevvome]

I've never danced since '91 but never ever tried these crazy moves!
This is the best music and these are the best dances and dancers..
I love to see these talented people on the dance floor, some twirling around like acrobats and others like Olympic gymnasts.
Hell, no wonder I never tried it, I'd have either broken my ankles or my arms or my legs.
It's never gone out of fashion has it? Neither the music or the dances have faded away and that gladdens this ol' heart of mine.
I really do reckon this will last forever.
It's too great to vanish into the history of dance books.
