[@conniespalding2674]

You must be joking 😮

[@keithmoores357]

It's become a piss up for the 40s to 60s joke of a weekender 🤮

[@elainestevenson6946]

Massive congratulations Jack! Brilliant pal xx

[@drivemaster3945]

[@LesleyNicoll-bs4xq]

Well done you Tazmin ❤

[@ScratchyBaws]

You can move girl, good for you and well done

[@Soul-LadyT]

@@ScratchyBaws thanks lol

[@davidmuir6849]

Fantastic dancing

[@angelacampbell7286]

Thanks for this, Ralph, fantastic filming as always!

[@fayscotland]

I love how Jack Morgan came out of nowhere ( sort of ) and smashed it at Blackpool. He has been dancing since a young boy , going to Scottish soul nights with his mum and dad and all over UK. Scotland has known and loved him for a while . When he said he was going to enter the dancing competition at Blackpool I thought he has every chance of winning as he has honed his skills for a while . Same as Stephen Cootes Edinburgh also is a top dancer and won Blackpool in 2011 . x

[@karenwheeldon9862]

He was standout best.

[@LesleyNicoll-bs4xq]

He was class good to see a fellow Scot win, well deserved

[@Harrybollox]

Wow, so many people, and all the dancers look fit and healthy

[@garryness1969]

Go Sharon ♥

[@raiseyourworld5324]

To my mund. Sharon the lady from Oxford ought have the number 1 spot. Marvelous nifty footwork, fluid movements, as I remember it

[@danceyourselfblonde9350]

Winners kept in time, dance to the music and let yourself go !! Stunts alone wont do it

[@richardsands4000]

I have to say this looks fun

[@elvingtonred]

Fucking circus by smashie and his motley crew.

I can't stand it got out of the rallys coz of it all

[@billybudd5854]

Italy, Edinburgh and Oxford. The folk in Lancashire and Yorkshire need to get their fingers out!

[@geordieceltic2]

Pure magic!

[@patriciajones4732]

Jack was definitely the most outstanding, just needs to tidy up his foot work on spins, otherwise, fantastic👍❤️💯🙏

[@ianstinger2776]

I picked the blonde girl as the best .

[@nigelsmith186]

She has a very rapid style which is impressive to watch. I would guess maybe some Latin/ballroom experience mixed into her soul moves. Almost everyone has their own interpretation of the music and everyone puts in what they know because that's what it's about - expressing your feelings spontaneously through movement. I enjoy Latin just as much as Soul and Motown.

[@danceyourselfblonde9350]

@@nigelsmith186 started off as northern soul as 15 ! apparently I have a natural wiggle ... 🤣

[@chrissymoss514]

Not to be a "Debbie Downer," but 40 years ago, the standard was high - and I mean HIGH!! Sharon fron Oxford was (imo) the winner. Her footwork was tight, varied, and light. Still, it was enjoyable to watch 👍

[@northernsoultv868]

It's fascinating to see how the standards have evolved over the 55 years for me I agree that at the age of 17 at The Catacombs it was very high I could spin and do the drops but these days at 72 I can still shuffle but following a stroke I cant spin but do what I can. I was at the Winter Gardens last weekend were I saw my friend James Whitehead again probably the best northern soul I have ever seen he is brilliant. KTF

[@suzannecurphey7284]

Really weird coming across this site. I'm from Wallasey Wirral and we danced like this in 1970 onwards I thought everyone danced like this back then!

[@peterstewart477]

That was only in the Chelsea 😂

[@keithfrmcov]

May I ask when is this event on? My wife and I would love to go to see this. Not as a competitor. Even though we love to dance to Northern Soul.

[@northernsoultv868]

NEXT WEEKEND 8-10TH NOV

[@Sheffield_Steve]

I've gotta get me to one of these nights! 👍

[@Keepingthefaith72]

The lady in the final is a good dancer but is spoiled by her Ballroom dancing training showing through .....

[@danceyourselfblonde9350]

Ballroom dancing??? 😂😂

[@danceyourselfblonde9350]

Thankyou for your kind comments but please note that I was brought up loving Northern soul music, it’s just how I dance since I was 15 and I am a sensitive soul so any negativity is not nice to read. I entered for fun as that’s what this is… there are many amazing dancers out there now and were many more back in the day. ❤

[@Keepingthefaith72]

@@danceyourselfblonde9350 Hi I didnt mean any disrespect I just worded it wrong, Like I said you are obviously a great dancer . In fact you you should have won the competition, To me you look like you have done a lot of professional dancing ...

[@Soul-LadyT]

I'd say she was just freelance like all of us who have taught ourselves to dance and got our own freelance style ns is not taught its a dance you make ya own moves too 4 me it is Sharon is a wonderful freestyle dancer koko well deserved ❤️

[@ihateclowns7526]

I dont think this was criticism but an opinion. Water of a ducks back to dancers. Your training shows through the extension work in your feet - pointing your toes. I had to lose this from my dancing. Its hard. Otherwise it does look like the old ball, step, change routine. Forget the how to dance N.S.videos it's not what its about. Feel the music. Get lost in it.

[@cragogre66]

What's the second track please?

[@Keepingthefaith72]

I know it's a bit late, but, Its by The Sapphires- Slow Fizz. They are better known for Gotta Have Your Love... both top dancers ......

[@cragogre66]

Thank you, its appreciated

Did I see a man in a striped tin foil suit? That’s a first!

He popped in from the Clown show next door .....

[@sandrac2]

Love northern soul this is fab but better songs than this some sound a bit disco

[@AP-oc3gh]

Shame about the red light would have been a good vid ,

[@normanbell-br7nf]

I would have found it hard to pick anyone but the girl

[@keithmoores357]

It's a northern soul comp not strictly, shouldn't of even got past round one ☹️. I've been dancing to N/S since I was 15 and I'm now 68 still dancing so I should know what I'm talking about.

[@karenwheeldon9862]

Is it me or has it all gone a bit disco?

[@LesleyNicoll-bs4xq]

The winner certainly wasn’t dancing disco 😮

[@karenwheeldon9862]

@@LesleyNicoll-bs4xq no the winner was brilliant but quite a few looked a bit disco

[@Keepingthefaith72]

It must be you, I've just listened and there are no Disco tracks in there. If you are a Northern Soulie you should know the tracks played as they are well known on the Northern scene .....

[@bartonseagrave9605]

Couldn't watch - those red lights were doing my head in. Obviously someone spends too much time in Hamburg, Amsterdam and Soho.

[@jamescarr1467]

May as well do the Twist and win it. At least it would be different than the clones dancing the same old crap.

[@sandrac2]

You dont know a thing about northern soul dancing then fab music much better songs than this people just enjoying themselves

[@jamescarr1467]

Were you born when I started dancing at the Twisted Wheel? 1967/8. We made up our own moves, one of mine is still part of the idiotic stuff that I see today. Nobody danced in a vest then---we were aware of how we looked. There was no flopping about on the floor like a fish out of water either. I'm afraid that you are a late-comer to a commercialised genre. I know TOO much about the dancing and the music!!!

[@karen2670]

The most FIXED competition around 🫤🙄💯
