      Amazing who you move your feet. I like dancing but I hardly move out of the same tile (I have no wood floor either).
      By the way, I don't no what shuffle means. To me it sounds like Motown.
      Thanks. I really enjoyed it. 💘

    I'm 63 and remember going every Sunday night to Norther Soul night in Newcastle, northern England. Fantastic music and dancers. It is Wonderfull to see young people now still into this music and dance. She is very talented and this kind of dancing must keep you really fit. Here's to all the young generation keeping this great music and dance alive ❤

      @Lara Xx If I read your comment correctly, you're wondering if Lev is 65 and can't believe it? I think Ian, the first commenter, is 65 not Let. At least that's what I'm hoping because I'm 64 and I can't do anything like that lol! I loved this video though and being 64 grew up with some of the greatest soul music ever. So if you see this Lev, you and those groovy feets are a joy to see, add that beautiful music, and I don't know how anyone can fight the feeling! Stay safe, stay joyous, and keep on trucking baby!

      @@debracisneroshhp2827 I grew up in the suburbs of Buffalo, NY. My first concert was Curtis Mayfield when I was 14 😆. In a high school of about 2500 kids in 1970 when I was 14, there were just a couple black kids, one who was my close friend and whose parents took us downtown to the concert. I was in heaven. It was right after Superfly came out which remains one of my favorites. In 1974, I moved to Westchester County Medical Center in White Plains, NY for nursing school and stayed in that area for almost a decade. Unfortunately, I never made it through nursing school, but I was able to see so many great concerts in NYC. Actually, I saw Teddy Pendergast and Stephanie Mills in White Plains Dec 1, 1979 and Stevie Wonder at Lincoln Center in NYC Dec 2, 1979. I know those dates so well because I gave birth to my son on Dec 3, 1979 almost a month early (probably because I was running all over with my big belly in some high heels for the past two nights 😂).
      I was very lucky growing up in Buffalo cause it was a big college town and there were a lot of concerts. I love all kinds of music and saw dozens of rock and R&B artists there. Then NYC had so much to offer and I saw many jazz greats too. Bob Marley was one of my favorites and I saw Ashford and Simpson, Chic and Aretha Franklin in the nosebleed section of Giants Stadium in the pouring rain and about 3 months pregnant.
      I’d never heard of northern soul until I saw Lev’s videos and I am really enjoying her dancing, the funky music, and that beautiful smile! Right now I’m living in Vienna, Austria where I can get health insurance through my husband who is Austrian. I’m hoping with Biden maybe I’ll be able to move to Florida near my son and grandkids one of these years! So thanks for dropping me a line Debra! I took a little trip down memory lane and listened to some Luther Vandross, Sugarhill Gang, and The Trammps while I was writing this and have been dancing in my chair the whole time, so oh the nostalgia 😂. I’m having a great time with UA-cam since I discovered it which was only a couple of years ago. Take care Debra, stay safe out there, and keep on grooving to the beat baby!

    One of the reasons I started playing Bass was ' the groove' Northern Soul epitomises this. The drums give you the tempo, the vocals and guitar tell the story. The Bass gives the groove, and makes people Want to dance. Not sure I could dance proper without a Bass round my neck though 🤣. I've gigged the Jubilee Club in Derby and a few others in a rock band and in the break I would be playing Bass with the DJ and dancing 'on the floor' with the punters , Red Light, The night etc. Trying to keep up with the 'proper dancers' whilst playing the bassline is a massive challenge . But I enjoyed it more than the actual rock gig i was there to do.🤣🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
    Even when on stage I love the result of what I play and you can see in how people react in their feet.. more videos northern soul girl. The smiles while you move say everything. Passion like this are missing from people's lives. They don't know what they are missing. 🎶 ♥

    I only recently discovered Northern Soul style dance on UA-cam. This is the first video I came across, LOVE it! It is still a favorite. The music and your 💃 moves are like you are gliding. I'm from Austin TX...Born 1953. Disco was a big thing for me, Motown was also. I do see some familiar steps. I'm watching all your videos and some tutorials by others. Dancing was a regular "club" thing. I'm so inspired to dance again...more fun than plain aerobics / exercise. You are a "pure" joy. TY from a new fan friend😇❤
