Northern Soul is a music and dance movement, originating in Northern England in the 60s, that’s being kept alive by enthusiasts from Japan, as well as other parts of the globe. One group – the Osaka Manifesto – are DJs and dancers who, from what I can tell (their web site is in Japanese) formed in 2002 and became involved in hosting dance manifestos in different locations around Japan, along with other groups from Tokyo.

If you like early soul music, snappy clothes, and slick dancing just google “Northern Soul” and you’ll find a feast of sites from all over the world.

Now go put on your dancing shoes!
