KV – 1970’s UK Northern Soul Break-dancing

Summary:
Since I've got into twitter I have politics coming out of my ears, so I hope you don't mind the diversions. The Northern Soul dancers liked to wear baggy flared trousers which went high up the waist. I always thought break-dancing was an American 80's phenomenon, but in the North of England the British were doing something similar in the 70's. It all started in a small dance club in Wigan, a town in Greater Manchester. It was called The Wigan Casino, and the dance scene it inspired came to be known as Northern Soul.In the South we were headbanging to rock music, not realising how much energy there was in soul.I wished I lived in Wigan in the 70's as the dancing looks fantastic!A recent fun weekend dance celebrating Northern Soul.  [embedded content]A news article about Northern
