    Northern Soul TV (NSTV) was created by me to promote all aspects of Northern Soul and to create memories for people with the videos, therefore it relies on people's goodwill. If you feel the need to be negative or derogatory the comments will be removed. The wonderful music, the fun, and friendship you find in the scene, the events, the venues, the dancing, and most of all the people and community that come together ALL OVER THE COUNTRY to enjoy this lifestyle.

    I love how Jack Morgan came out of nowhere ( sort of ) and smashed it at Blackpool. He has been dancing since a young boy , going to Scottish soul nights with his mum and dad and all over UK. Scotland has known and loved him for a while . When he said he was going to enter the dancing competition at Blackpool I thought he has every chance of winning as he has honed his skills for a while . Same as Stephen Cootes Edinburgh also is a top dancer and won Blackpool in 2011 . x

    Not to be a "Debbie Downer," but 40 years ago, the standard was high - and I mean HIGH!!
    Sharon fron Oxford was (imo) the winner. Her footwork was tight, varied, and light.
    Still, it was enjoyable to watch 👍

      It's fascinating to see how the standards have evolved over the 55 years for me I agree that at the age of 17 at The Catacombs it was very high I could spin and do the drops but these days at 72 I can still shuffle but following a stroke I cant spin but do what I can. I was at the Winter Gardens last weekend were I saw my friend James Whitehead again probably the best northern soul I have ever seen he is brilliant. KTF

      She has a very rapid style which is impressive to watch. I would guess maybe some Latin/ballroom experience mixed into her soul moves. Almost everyone has their own interpretation of the music and everyone puts in what they know because that's what it's about - expressing your feelings spontaneously through movement. I enjoy Latin just as much as Soul and Motown.

      Thankyou for your kind comments but please note that I was brought up loving Northern soul music, it’s just how I dance since I was 15 and I am a sensitive soul so any negativity is not nice to read. I entered for fun as that’s what this is… there are many amazing dancers out there now and were many more back in the day. ❤

      I dont think this was criticism but an opinion. Water of a ducks back to dancers. Your training shows through the extension work in your feet - pointing your toes. I had to lose this from my dancing. Its hard. Otherwise it does look like the old ball, step, change routine. Forget the how to dance N.S.videos it's not what its about. Feel the music. Get lost in it.

      Were you born when I started dancing at the Twisted Wheel? 1967/8. We made up our own moves, one of mine is still part of the idiotic stuff that I see today. Nobody danced in a vest then---we were aware of how we looked. There was no flopping about on the floor like a fish out of water either. I'm afraid that you are a late-comer to a commercialised genre. I know TOO much about the dancing and the music!!!
