Crossover , Modern , Northern Dancing

[Diddy Morgan]

i was thinking about this today , and i believe the dancing to these genres of music have individual styles , even crossover to modern has a definate difference ..... so do you change your dancing to the

style of soul?

[Guest Bearsy]

yes

[Guest Gogs]

yes

Bearsy you are a man of very few words, sometimes i wish that you would elaborate

[Guest Ste Brazil]

Also, yes.

[Steve Plumb]

It's a Yes from me too

[Winnie :-)]

Yep, there's a definite increase in the ''shoulder shrugging'' department from me when dancing to modern, in twitter parlance I think this dance style is on the verge of trending :D

I will dance to the tune that is actually being played so if its modern i try to dance more moderny than northerny if that makes sense i wont do back drops high kicks and break dancing to Ruby Andrews thats for sure, saying that i do any of that stuff anyway

If its Modern ya go up n down, if its NS ya go from side ta side.....easy innit.

More a case of letting the music flow through your mind and control your feet ,opposed to the dancing by numbers ,practiced in the kitchen , incorporate a big clap in time with everyone else in the room ...line dancing styler of the traditional "northern soul" punter innit ;)

i just stand at the bar and nod me head to the beat and say 'yes' when someone ask "fancy a beer?"...simples.

Personally, I don't actually think Northern fits in with Modern dancing as Russ commented about styles above after all the beat is different I find it a tad grimmacing to see someone doing backdrops in a modern room - it always reminds me of a "Peacock" showing its feathers, although that might be just to show the moderners what they may be missing in the Northern room thats only my thoughts . At the end of the day people will do what they feel like doing but for me it is different. Its like someone attending Northern Soul and doing rock & roll and I have seen that before which is just wrong - again my thoughts
