Is the for real? Please, please say its a hoax?

REMEMBER...... keep repeating the move before speeding it up - keep pausing the DVD until you are confident with the move before moving on. This is particularly relevant to the intermediate DVD's which are quite complicated.

You can always email or telephone me if you get stuck - I can try to hep you, if you feel you need an hour with me, just ring and book a session with me.

I just wanna curl up & die of embarrassment.......is this really what this once great scene has become, I truly dispair. Can we pse re - name the scene for those that are actually genuinely in to what 'was' NS, to disassociate our selves from this kinda toe curling dross......there are proper 'soulies' no longer with us, who will be spinning in thier graves at this, we once had something to be proud of, we're now a laughing stock to anyone who has even a passing interest & you know what, the vast majority of the punters these days, dont care & have no perception of why this kinda thing is soooooo wrong.

It makes we wanna weep........

I've not been out and about much recently, nothing much is inspiring me in the UK at the moment, quite the opposite in fact. Maybe a six week course could restore my faith in soul music and take my mind off driving my car in fast but ultimately pointless circles? Where do I sign up?

Sharon has been dancing since she was 8 years old, her dancing began in Preston, Lancashire at a dance studio called 'Dancers' - her teacher was Nick Attack, a fantastic dancer and a truly nurturing teacher.

no one ever needed to be "taught" how to dance...if its in you, it comes naturally....for generations some people have learned the art of dancing faster than others, particularly northern soul...I DONT KNOW WHAT EVERYBODY ON THIS THREAD THINKS BUT SOME SMALL SCHOOL IS SMALL BEER COMPARED TO THE "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?" TRASH ON TERRESTRIAL TV...dustbin should've compared that!!

the advanced lessons there may be a modules for floor etiquette, chinstroking, dresscodes,

It might look cheesy to us but come down south and find out how many people think they are into Northern Soul but haven't got a clue how to dance. And

there's even more that turn up at do's but feel too intimidated to hit the floor. She should set up down here 'cos anything that would stop people dancing

as though they've still got a Lambretta stuck between their legs would be a good thing IMO.

I doubt the uninitiated would be interested in her tuition, rather those that feel they just can't get it right on a night out. Look at the youtube vids of the youngsters

in Japan coaching others at their open air sessions in the park - fantastic enthusiasm and a willingness to learn/teach. You never been to a do and found a side room

where some bloody good dancers are showing one another how to hit certain moves? Private tuition in my book. All this "you have to feel the music and just do your

own thing" is obviously bollox otherwise there wouldn't be so many dancing very similarly to one another. It's just that most have had balls to imitate and practice on

a proper "live" dancefloor at some stage in their lives.

She's making a living out of combining two of her interests. Unfortunately with one of them being the great underground music scene, Northern Soul, she's

gonna get a right slating. How dare she!

Fair play to her is what I say.

.............I'll get my coat (goin line dancing).

This is Sharon & kenny on the day they shot the DVD

apparently it was manic which was why Kenny couldn't get his belt of his arm after shooting up.

Don't mix drugs with dancing Kids

I think the hat really captures the northern soul ethos (so much so that Cunnie had to get one) i'm pleased you wrote that John-Bez got upset with me at City Limits

the advanced lessons there may be a modules for floor etiquette, chinstroking, dresscodes,

Yeah, heard there's a few special one day workshops too:

'Science - Make your own fine grade talculm powder'

'Origami - constructing the perfect wrap'

'Languages - How to talk utter b*****cks at 3 am in the moring'

'

This (or a similar) type thread was posted a few years ago and the general concensus was as most have posted on this thread, ie it's pretty comical....... which I agreed with, however.....

If people want to waste their cash on NS dance lessons then thats their choice, you can now get lessons in just about every other type and style of dance - so why not northern?......the scene has long since stopped being 'Underground' (the internet and a disposable income put a stop to that) so taking money off people for dance lessons is little different than all the other ways 'todays' scene has found to relieve people of their 'hard earned'......

........ and lets be honest, I'm sure we all know somebody who could benefit from a few lessons....

Hi Paul. Alright we're still in the recession and shes making a little bit of money, i cant blame her for that. You cant teach anyone to dance IMO. Northern to me is more than baggy trousers and a few back drops and carrying a record box about, its all down to passion at the end of the day and the way of life. You gotta feel it to appreciate it. Anyway hope to see you at Lifeline.

Billy

I bet she's lovin' all this free advertising you lot are giving her

Agreed Chalky, to be honest i just ignore stuff like this, it's got bugger all to do with anything i enjoy about the scene. Same as crappy bootleg oldies nights.

the advanced lessons there may be a modules for floor etiquette, chinstroking, dresscodes,

Ironically once you've been taught how to dance, she teaches you how to sit in the record bar all night and moan about the music. It's the complete course

i can just imagine the playlist there gonna learn to dance to

out on the floor

the snake

do i love you

im off to laugh my self to death
