How to dance to northern soul-The Guardian
The Guardian wrote an article on how to dance to northern soul music describing the different moves and also representing the mood of the music and the dance alongside. Quotes from the article:
"Its joyful and cathartic, but mastering this classic 1970's dance-high kicks and all-is serious business. Read on for soul nights round the UK".
-"To understand the dancing you have to understand the music." -"The northern soul scene blossomed in the 1970s, when DJs would hunt down rare black American soul 45s and bring them back to play in venues across the north-west of England. The music – inspired heavily by the Motown sound, with fast tempos and a simple 4-4 beat – was a dancer’s dream."
-"Because the scene embraced competitiveness, with DJs trying to outdo each other by playing the rarest vinyl, so too the dance floor became a showcase for audacious moves: spins, backdrops, high kicks."
