Paul-s Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago (edited) https://www.dancelikeachamp.com/pricing-plans What a fantastic evolution from Kev Roberts ridiculously titled World Northern Soul Dance Championships - real name Blackpool Dance Competition. An individual who is actually convinced by the title. Oxy and Moron come to mind as she explains that Northern Soul dancing is not about choreography, whilst using choreography to teach.....an Oxymoron indeed. Before admin say something, this is a product review not a review of the person. Interested in your thoughts....perhaps the individuals who judge the dubious event, care to comment on her World status? Edited 12 hours ago by Paul-s link change 2
Mike Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago if you gonna post/reference these videos on here, can you link or embed them from the social media sites rather than post the complete video up as we may get hit with copyright takedown requests, that is unless you do have permissions to publish them as such gonna have to take it down shortly so can you edit and add a link or embed thanks

Keamus Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago Better off buying a few half decent unknown tunes than spending that much cash on a correspondence course. 2

Keamus Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Guess that depends on your level of knowledge and how many genres of this wonderful music you’re into. Good example the other day when a mate of mine played this at the Dalmeny Weekend. Never heard it before and it cost me the princely sum of £4.99 to get a minter. Anyway always going to buy records over dance classes. 2
Gilly Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago What the hell is that all about ? Would like to see someone teach Mick Francis or Mick LeBrewin how to dance 2

Kathryn Magson Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Jeeez it's not often I'm lost for words........ Flatpack dance lessons? Thanks for that one JimmyTee! 1
Simsy Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Ridiculous! Clown event crowns her world champion, she believes it and thinks that justifies her charging a hundred and fifty quid for lessons? Preposterous! 1
Timbo58 Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago I've met Sally a few times before the 'championship' and she certainly seemed a level headed nice person & I do think that dance classes can be used to encourage the wallflowers new to the scene to get onto the floor. If she's determined to make her web offerings work I'd prompt her to look at her responses given to FAQs as they are confusing and potentially even misleading. It's also best practice to make the annual sub significantly cheaper than 12 x monthly subs. (Just my previous experience in digital marketing with a leading genealogy company.) Seriously though: The 'world championships' are no more than a marketing gimmick for the Blackpool Tower weekender, legally someone 'winning' that competition has no more right to be declared a world champion than anyone winning a similar dance off anywhere else in the world. It isn't adjudicated independently or scrutinised by any professional dance body, it matters not how many take part or believe it to be a real competition, it isn't. The comments about NS being freestyle with lots of 'set moves' is hokum IMHO also - those set moves are merely a result of others copying another dancer they've seen. I've actually seen a instagram video this morning of one of the country's absolute best dancers (not just my opinion either) being ridiculed for not doing 'NS dance style' -it's this very sort of 'dance classes' - pretending there are defined sets of 'moves' that can be classified & categorised -that caused those ignorant comments. Just my twopenneth but NS/Rare soul should be both absolutely freestyle & best done in as dark an event as is possible. High time video makers & social media grifters were positively discouraged from invading our hobby. 2
Chalky Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago What makes her so qualified? She isn't that good herself, just average.
Wiggyflat Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Jesus H.....What with the avalanche of bootlegs..."vinyl only" .....Ai......and now £150 dance classes ........the scene cannae take it captain....we need to break the dance algorithms......beam us up Scotty. Edited 3 hours ago by Wiggyflat

Anyway always going to buy records over dance classes. B & S gave tunes like this a lot of press, despite the fact it chart topped rnb in the States, but did nothing here.....tons of great fjvers out there that have been totally forgotten and never mentioned....probably all a bit guilty of shortsightedness i suppose.
Greedy Mick Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Wow I'm gobsmacked I love to watch a busy dancefloor with everyone doing their own moves but all in time with the beat and tempo changes etc. Surely if this is the new thing northern soul line dancing will be the next thing.
New Members Tahiil Posted 1 hour ago New Members Posted 1 hour ago I never really took the dance contests seriously since people aren't exactly trying to show off or perform to others on a soul night...? It's largely an expression of your connection to the music and any compliments are just a bonus.

Mick, that already exists anyway. Video evidence from one of the tower sessions was viewed by everyone last year....and the folks taking part said it was just a laugh....ffs, plumb the depths on top of all this dance class garbage.
