[RareMusicDirect]

With regard to dancing, I'm a newcomer too and went along with the same thought process .........It is daunting to start because often the floor is filled with dancers who have been doing there own thing for years and can move well many with spins and set steps etc...........

However, I found you just gotta do your own thing and go for it ...........thats the hard part........do what comes naturally and from your heart.

I still can't dance, but have a great time doing what I do.....

You also soon realise that most dancers are also "doing their own thing / in their zone" and as long as you are not in the way, wont care too much for what you are up too.........

I'd like to do a few things different, and hopefully that will come in time.


This was the site I found before, sorry if already posted NorthernDanceLessons ; worth a look and would be good to hear from anyone who has been there...........worth the money etc ?

Oh my god...just saw this site. What the f--k! The worlds gone mad...Northern Soul Dance academy style!


There is No 'way' of dancing in a Northern Soul style. Just do your own thing and dont take your drink onto the dance floor.

[Dirk Tiggler]

Yeah, just do your own thing. My personal thing is to dance so bloody fast that no one can see my crap footwork:shades: Ade

[Simsy]

I think Chris Harvey gives lessons..

I'm with the feel the beat & dance etc, draw the curtains ... "Every fcuker practices" Keb Darge.

[JELLYBEAN]

I taught my daughter Gemma the basics and shes added her own style of moves to the way she dances and got better with lots of practise But its like others have said you just got to do your own thing really and enjoy.

Happy dancing and welcome to SS

Just go with the flow mate,when the music get's into your Heart & Soul the dancing part just becomes a extension.You'll know in your own mind when you're ready to hit the floor. So KEEP THE FAITH in your HEART & SOUL and yoou'll be OKEH.That's me with no shirt on as young 17 year old going through the learning process.

Superb Sir, That say's all.

[de-to]

even babys can do it,

[thefantasticmrsC]

Go to doo's, watch, listen, love, feel, start to understand what floats your boat and then do what will come naturally.

Enjoy your soul and the rest will follow, promise.

Most of all don't be afraid to take to the floor, too many people let the fear of showing themselves up get in the way.

For me it's the only way I know to appreciate my music.

Good luck and welcome, let us know how it goes XXXX

[TallSarah]

A couple of my mates have been to the one day class in Huddersfield and really enjoyed it

I'd be tempted but its beyond my budget

Reckon you can work it out with a few vodkas, some talc, tunes and decent floorboards

[sue.hey]

I haven't been able to dance for 40 years but that's never stopped me, just get up and jiggle about nobody will bother you.......there will always be someone better than you (and worse) I can remeber Frank Booper the trick was not to dance near him
Good luck
Sue

[fifesoul]

Get up on the floor to the songs that you get a real feel for you will know when a song comes on and your ears will tell your brain to get up on the floor dont give in to the urge to sit down because theres nobody dancing or its full of dancers and you dont wont to embarass yourself weve all been there first and foremost its the music that counts and when your on the floor your expressing how that song makes you feel the more nights you go to and the more you start to understand the songs and what there saying the more you will develope your own style goodluck

I'll take your word for that Dean...

That's just thing, on the other website mentioned above, a lesson is eighty quid!

I'm not after lessons myself, but if I were a newb visiting the site, I'd want to see at least a video of the so called teacher doing their stuff before parting up with 80 sheets, wouldn't you?

[Stevie.T]

Lessons ? nah! .....just "do it to it "

[Simsy]

Stop Press.... Gap in the market .... 'Northern Soul Shuffling Lessons' ..?

[wiggyflat]

Do they cover all the different eras and styles.....the giffer shuffle to fascinating girl.....the mecca shuffle to summer in. The parks....the Stafford twist.....the aeroplane spin....the Wigan backdrop ...do you pay extra for how to choose your talc and beer glass avoidance and awareness sessions.Practice at home on your mama carpet and avoid that glass with a cat in it.

[JohnLloyd]

Never had a lesson in my life - perhaps I should have, as I've always thought I must look like Michael Barrymore on acid. But at my age I'm past caring.

Anyway I now get a perverse pleasure making my kids squirm with embarasment when the old man starts dancing.

I suggest you ask Andy Simpson from Bradford......he was THE referance in NS dancing....probably still is !!
