I'm 63 and was around at Wigan, Mecca, Torch, Blackbeat and loads of others and I enjoyed your video's so thanks very much. The great thing about Northern is (obviously the music is great) nobody minds what you do on the floor........look at the Casino - no booze and very little bother ever.
Thank you for the simplified instructions. I'm in the U.S. and have an English pen pal who introduced me to Northern Soul. I'm a long time swing dancer, Cajun dancer, ballroom dancer, flatfooter and so dance is second nature to me. However some of the Northern Soul instructional videos left me more confused than ever. Then I ran across yours and got it in an instant. Well done, you!!!!
I am in my 60s and grew up with Motown and soul music. I never thought we danced like this but when I dance in my kitchen it sort of looks like this..I guess..lol. Thanks for the memory. Happy dancing. Keep safe and well.
Loving your videos, I've been wanting to learn Northern Soul for a while now and I love how you break it all down and make it (at least look) easy! I'm hoping with daily practice it will eventually all fall into place, and I'll be ready to hit those Northern Soul nights here in Kent when they start up again!
Thankyou Lynda thats most kind, this is my style but will continue to do some more and get you all gliding over the floor.. if it gives some confidence amongst the established to get on the floor , then I am delighted to help.
My thoughts exactly..tried a few years back and there was very little on utube..so gave up. Your instructions are brilliant. Makes me want to master it..by hook or by swollen ankles. Northern Ireland. 🇮🇪 😁
What a delight you are 💕...... And , the best instructor for Northern Soul I’ve found . I thought I was doomed to never being able to do it .... but now I’m slowly getting there . Thank you 😊... PS ... can’t find the very first tutorial though ....
Oh that’s so kind of you to say... I made these to get people moving during lockdown and sharing my passion of northern soul dance and how I interrupt the music... delighted you mastered the moves.. xx
Love the vlogs. I’m 61 and have rhythm. I have the basic glide step down, but. Keep getting the others muddled up. Hoping I’ll get there soon. Thx again for your work…love it x
@@danceyourselfblonde9350 super easy to follow if you keep your back to the camera, but loose it when you spin around the room. Love your dancing style and trying hard to emulate. Take care x
Ive been exercising in lockdown..Ive never danced before in public..im slowly gaining confidence..Every muscle aches despite only mastering side to side .Keep it up..I think i mastered the shuffle last night😀🕊🌿.. This morning got my legs in a knot but i just keep going.relaxing into the music .the music is Incredible !!!💙🕊🌿 Well get there.!🙂
Just got back into Northern Soul, and Motown, and trying to get dancing again, it can be a little hard because I have a spinal condition. Love you lessons.
At last, your comments are turned on. Thank you for the dance steps. How can I dance with my two left feet? One thing I don't understand is there any music other than Northern Soul? I hope not.
I know , we are all struggling at the moment but light at the end of this dark tunnel is now in sight! And Thankyou for your compliment! Onwards and upwards!
Tina Davies Thankyou for your comment and absolutely agree... I have said in my videos that there is no right or wrong way to dance northern soul, I am just showing interested people my steps and how I danced To the music, hopefully getting people moving and staying fit indoors. Everyone will develop their own style which make it unique.
Hi I hope you see this message. I love your tutorials. However I can’t find part 7 or 8. Is there a way I can get these in order all in one place. Thank you so much for your time.
Hi thank you for your comment. If you search dance yourself blonde all videos should come up… number 7 is called northern soul review part 7 and northern soul review part 8. I hope that helps .
Well I’ve done things in the wrong order of your videos....typical man. I can now do the grapevine but just cannot get close to the “ cross over back step and replace the toe”. Yet the grapevine on paper seems more difficult but mentally I’m conditioned to put the extra side move in!! Can you help?
@@danceyourselfblonde9350 Hello. That’s very kind of you! Lovely. One problem at minute..... I’ve been running a lot on roads due to gyms closed and I’ve done my calf in sadly. Anyway .... I’ve got a sports degree so I know this is going to take approx 3 weeks. Very annoying but at least I will be fit to attend first northern soul events. Yes I have 2 Facebook accounts.... one for biz so can I get back to you as soon as I’m on the mend. Can’t tell you how frustrating it is not being able to do this straightforward dance move so thank you so much for giving your time up. I’m Steve btw.
All videos are on here with a few fun ones inbetween so should be able to find if you check, please let me know if your still having issues and I will forward the link to you
Hi check out my friend ( Ian Pritchard ) Sax & Soul ) on utube he played at my 60th last Friday i danced all night long with moves I’ve learnt from you thanks it was an absolutely brilliant night x

It's the way the dancer appears to slide around effortlessly that sets NS dancing apart. Great lesson, as ever. ✊KTF.

Get on a northern soul dance floor let your body move how you feel when you hear the music,get your own movement not everybody has the same move.
