I thought that James was once the World champion, whatever, he is one of the best that I have seen in this era. You would have to go back to the ultimate dance period of 1965 - 1969 to see the highest level of individuality and style, but James is close, well done.
I could watch him for hours . The boy has soul. Dancing is about feeling the music . I have danced to northern and Soul for many years now , l just loose myself to the music and don't have a care in the world ! Keep the faith !
Great to see the inimitable and one and only James Witehead again. What a treat! Keep showing us how to really dance to Northern Soul James The rest of you are no match whatsoever for King James and never will be. He should have featured at the recent BBC Proms night. A National Treasure!!! 🇬🇧🎆🌟👑 Karen Age 68 Xxx
Hes got proper rhythm and expresses himself really well, good dancers look good dancing to any tempo music while others look like cardboard or out of time, top dancer.
It's always obvious how passionate about it Northern Soul dancers are and this is no exception. It's particularly good to see that despite being somewhat older the passion remains. I love it.
I would go dancing all the time. If only we could turn back time. I miss my youth but love the family I have now. I am happy I was able to live life to the fullest
Into NS, 60,70,80,s plus never forget Gill Poulter, danced this individual fluid style of J. Whitehead wonderfully individual I think they must feel the music deep inside for this style of dance " wonderful".
Plus he,s got boll bearings in his souls, you could not dance like that unless you were musically and spiritually tied, that's only my thoughts am a " Jiver", I did go to " Wigan and Blackpool Mecca, in the 70/80,s, memories.
So are the steps learnt? All looks just impromptu...made up... But just flows...hey I was around then but northern soul didn't filter down to us... Love the music and moves...
Ffs why do people have to say northern soul dancing ? It’s just dancing ok maybe in a certain style whatever I’m from back in the day when the casino opened no one said oh look he’s a good northern soul dancer they simply said he’s a good dancer as in many scenes dance music is dance music
I agree with you. I was a Twisted Wheeler----We could ALL dance there and none of this Northern Soul crap being bandied about.. Keep The Faith? What the fuck is that all about? Keep the faith in what? At the Wheel we made up our own dances. It looks like almost every dancer has been assimilated by the effing 'Borg' from Star Trek. A guy called Booper was the best dancer that I ever saw. I do admire the main guy in the vid. I can feel what he feels too. He doesn't know his next move---It just comes naturally--even a mis-step will be the beginning of a new move. Ask him if you like. He will tell you that I'm right.
Truth is I gave up going to rally s and scouter do,s coz of all this ,, people dressed up like idiots ,have mast trousers 👖 on etc and most can't even dance to northern soul just falling around like they had 10 pints of Stella
My days what has happened to the dancers over the years,only the fella in the hat and coat has any idea the rest are just plodding about the floor without a clue and the dj is playing "I am nothing"detroit gold that needs to felt not just heard,if you can't feel the music then do one to somewhere
Old people walking about dad dancing still in their coats and caps what a sad watch ... norther soul is officially dead ... from vibrant halls full of energy in the 70's to a care home outing
It dont matter how you dance,its the fact your dancing,to the music you love,that matters and what you feel in your heart.
Wow , just beautiful , this guy and this tune together .that’s why northern soul is so special 👍🙏
Fabulous NS dancer, unique; love his style and dress sense where’s he from .?
There's always been the individual dancers that stand out from the rest that what helps make the scene like no other .
James!! Unique and they can shove their so called 'World Champions'.....he is always 'IN' the music. The best.
What's his surname?

I didn’t see anybody else on the dance floor. So elegant. ❤
Agreed
I could watch him for hours . The boy has soul. Dancing is about feeling the music . I have danced to northern and Soul for many years now , l just loose myself to the music and don't have a care in the world ! Keep the faith !
Me too, totally agree 👍
It’s hard to watch anyone else on that floor …..mesmerising
Great to see the inimitable and one and only James Witehead again. What a treat!
Keep showing us how to really dance to Northern Soul James
The rest of you are no match whatsoever for King James and never will be. He should have featured at the recent BBC Proms night.
A National Treasure!!!

Agree totally, where were you James....? I'm way down in Devon & lm a follower. Love unique Talented people. 👌*
The sheer joy of moving your body to the music. Love these videos. Reminds me of my youth! 😁
he looks like a peaky blinder :) great dancing
this is such a cool and elegant style of dancing for the guys, love it
Love his style...so unique 😊❤
Just wow
It says Freestyle and what he's dancing is a new style. Loved 😍
he's just dancing 'in' the music.....it used to happen. Its just all so re-enactment based nowadays: motifs and duff drama acting out the soul.
I like unique different well done James. ❤
Yup the guys got my vote …. One of the better dancers I’ve seen on northern soul!
Fluid! Feels the music and …. Just glides … we’ll done mate!
I've seen this many times and the elegance in those subtle slides is superb. Best I've seen.
Sheer brilliance.. the hat the coat. It's joyous man!
Looks like James Whitehead doing his own thing. 👍
I like the guy in the cap he’s not wearing those stupid wide trousers that look ridiculous now and he makes Northern Soulless dancing really cool
Absolutely brilliant to watch.
Brilliant ! cap man dancer ! He's really really good !
When I used to go to The Casino back in the day it was a vest and baggy pants as it was so hot and sweaty. Never saw anybody in top coat and suit! 😎
James is without doubt the best most gifted dancer around
Dance as if no one is watching you - but in this case we all were! Excellent!
In a soul world of his own, love it
In a f world 🌍 of there own , do they get there clothes from the hart foundation ??? I no everyone to their own but cun on

Then you should have been there very early 70's, mind blowing, as guys did NOT normally dance then, so to see these lads on the floor, WOW !!!!
🤣😂🤣
BRILLIANT DANCER !!!!….hes movin it on…..its stale!!!!
Timeless..ktf
One of a kind, you couldn’t bootleg him.
Into NS, 60,70,80,s plus never forget Gill Poulter, danced this individual fluid style of J. Whitehead wonderfully individual I think they must feel the music deep inside for this style of dance " wonderful".
Brilliant, would love to know who this guy is!!😂
Arthur Shelby 😅
Cool 🙌
This is how it was and how it should be ! We will soon have to learn tribal dance to fit in ! 😢
WTF, been slung out of pub laddie? Your doing a good job of staying upright i must say.
Keep the faith ✊
Brilliant
He’s got soul running through his veins
Probably in his veins as well….
Plus he,s got boll bearings in his souls, you could not dance like that unless you were musically and spiritually tied, that's only my thoughts am a " Jiver", I did go to " Wigan and Blackpool Mecca, in the 70/80,s, memories.
Do you have soul running through your VANES !!
Needs to go back home 😅
Es got the rythem top dancer
I’d kill for that coat
Got to be Whitehead in disguise
Very similar dance routine to the Hig.
If you don't move to northern check your pulse or get help ,,,,,,,,,,KTF
Peaky binding.
😂
Quality
But pay attention to the guy on the other side with the white Adidas t shirt
Grass root dancing from Andy ( White Adidas top)
So are the steps learnt? All looks just impromptu...made up... But just flows...hey I was around then but northern soul didn't filter down to us... Love the music and moves...
At least they're having a good time,
Where ?
That must be Blackpool Tower right?
👌👌

lol yeh that's just common sense to say he/she is a good dancer with no need to state what style, especially when you are at wigan casino, pmsl,

James Whitehead ...in disguise.?
Cillian Murphy
Who is he ???
If he stuck to dancing Instead of all that one legged crap he would be great but I don't get all the other tosh
brings something different to the vested spencer know alls..northern isnt about the usual moves pop pickers..does this geezers mam still go
Must be a Shelby 😂
Truth is I gave up going to rally s and scouter do,s coz of all this ,, people dressed up like idiots ,have mast trousers 👖 on etc and most can't even dance to northern soul just falling around like they had 10 pints of Stella
U like that one 😂

😂
My days what has happened to the dancers over the years,only the fella in the hat and coat has any idea the rest are just plodding about the floor without a clue and the dj is playing "I am nothing"detroit gold that needs to felt not just heard,if you can't feel the music then do one to somewhere
Never got this nevet will. Dont understand why you would start spinning randomly to a boring songs that all sound the same
Was he pissed
just drunk dancing really
Old people walking about dad dancing still in their coats and caps what a sad watch ... norther soul is officially dead ... from vibrant halls full of energy in the 70's to a care home outing
WOW you are a barrel of laughs
The guy can dance but that ain't northern soul at all
so what is the northern soul dance then ?
@@peterreed5866 well if you were there you'd know have you not seen any old clips like Footsie? It's on RUclips
