Northern Soul Dancing

I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the wonders of Northern Soul dancing. Now I'm no where as good as I would like to be but I know many people that are, one of which has had 206,000 views on her most recent YouTube video where she dances Northern Soul to Pharrell Williams song 'Happy'. I've seen her on the dance floor and she glides around the floor like she's on roller skates, with a lot of rhythm and a hell a lot of soul !

I do understand that Northern Soul isn't everyones cup of tea but I think everyone should at least give it a try, even if you just purchase a Norhtern Soul collection on CD or give it a listen to on Spotify. After going to my first All Nighter I was completely hooked, everyone who goes to a Soul night are so friendly and welcoming. People who have been going for years love new comers to the scene, its a way to spread the word about Northern Soul nights and therefore keep the All Dayers and Nighters functioning.

If your not sure about going to a popular night as your first encounter then research to see if there's one locally to you which is always a good starting point. The best website for finding out what's on at the weekend and due in the week all over the Country, Europe and the World is; http://www.soul-source.co.uk/. This website has a great deal of information and also a forum where people talk about Soul and sell/buy records off of each other. Soul Source tell you about the main events such as Stoke, Blackpool and 100 Club but also about all the little events that happen too.
