old school northern dancer

just having a laff

[davidreed]

Finally, someone doing it right. No fast showing off steps and flips and back spins. Just a great old style dancer, gliding with effortless style and finesse on the beat.

Great dancer tight and not over exaggerated moves. and not been dressed by Mr Ben for northern soul

[juliethompson]

Effortlessly brilliant, real rhythm and that can’t be taught that’s something you are born with . I bet he was doing that in the womb. Real rhythm he doesn’t just hear the music he FEELS the beat it’s in his soul x absolutely there ain’t no man .

[emmsue]

Real Old School, looked as if they were almost floating. No flips, drops, or wild spins. This is pure.

Real northern dancing - I was dancing like this when I was 17 - 62 now can't quite do it anymore so loved to see it again - it's definitely a lost art 💜

Proper Northern Soul Dancer….some on here look like demented Dervishers or like the old skinheads stomping. Others wear a vest, vintage Oxford bags, bowling shoes and stick a bar towel in their belt and just do a basic box step while flailing their arms about. Thank God this guy still reminds us of how it should be done. In sync, understated, smooth, stylish….like all top class athletes and performers you should always play within yourself. #ifyouknowyouknow.

No acrobatics here bro, absolutely superb, real heartfelt northern dancing.

[pierstheoneandonly]

This is a proper choreographed form and it's a challenge to make it look this smooth and easy. Certain celebrated younger Northern Soul-ettes (who shall remain nameless), favour a style that looks kind of laboured and unnatural while seeming to think that the backwards hand-spring is the holy grail of NS.

[peterdunn]

Old school, brillant natural rhythm this man can dance.

[maximusreed]

That's how ya do it. Well done mate

[brontetiker]

Brings tears of joy to my eyes. This is something so beautiful.

[tonybase]

He’s fantastic dance to the beat and rhythm, still love watching a really good dancer.

[nigelfelixcheongde]

Such is the beauty of Northern Soul dance steps and tunes.

[edwardwilliams]

"Ain't no man"! Indeed...this guy is in the zone. He seem to really enjoy his own musicality and it shows.Too bad we all can not have his pure joy and abandonment of "struttin' our best in life and on the dance floor. You go Bob! Thanks for the showcase....of Old School class.

[martinjenkins]

Got me out of breath just watching him, it's not just the steps and timing and even the acrobats that make a good northern soul dancer.... It's the effortless grace that very few of the so called great dancers had, this guy has it in bundles.

[wendyshenton]

I've been memorised by this chap when I've been Blackpool Tower and he was my chosen one to win the dance competition. Xx

[joefaherty]

Yes definitely. Great mover. Good footwork. Goes to the beat. Proper Northern dancer. Good slow stomped. Shuffle. Love it. KTF.

[liamcahill]

If you think he looks good just imagine how he is felling. Totally absorbed in the music. Proper dancer that i totally have enjoyed watching him at Rugby loosing himself. Good man Rob.

[peterrollason]

Rob taught me to dance - although I am million miles away from the moves in the video above, I have enough confidence to get up and have a go at most dances I go to. Its introduced a whole social way of life and have made some great friends. I can thank Rob enough. I hear he may be offering classes again soon - I will certainly go along if he does. If your looking for a new hobby or interest this is a great way to do it. Cheers Rob.
