Pictures and videos of people dancing

Has this been posted? It's not all people dancing, but it does have some previously unshown footage of the Sterns dancefloors. It's pretty good, although I realise that might be the nostagia for that era talking.

I so much love that video, not so much for the dancing but for Todd Edwards - his face at the reception he was getting from the UK audience!
I read up about him after I saw it for the first time, he was genuinely surprised how much they loved him, seems a really nice guy.

This a great short documentary made in the 80s, about the flamenco class at a Canadian ballet school

Todd Edwards is 100% dude, here he is talking about that show:

In an isolated world, humans need to dance together more than ever – but we're running out of places to do it | John Harris

The demise of clubbing isn’t just a cultural loss, it’s an existential deprivation for generations who are coming of age, says Guardian columnist John Harris

isn't it. I never went, because I was a student trying to live on 120 quid a month after rent, and didn't have a car, nor did I know anyone who had a car, pills were 13-15 quid, etc. Went to some In-Ter-Dance/Mantra/Passion events when they were actually in Brighton, and thus walkable. But it was legendary in it's 'ardcore drug mentalism inferno status.

Yeah, that book does sound good, I got sent this FT article about it as well.
This article actually has less pictures of dancing than the headline might suggest, it's mostly more "pictures of people being in a place where dancing is probably happening somewhere":

There will be plenty of that round where I live tomorrow, it's Purim, all the kids in fancy dress and the young men dancing in the streets - feel sorry the weather's not going to be so good

Great I saw a few of them in the morning and could hear them in the early evening! They were lucky with the weather, it stayed dry after all.

Two recommendations for films with people dancing:
1) turns out you can watch the new Roman rave documentary, Roma Illegale, on youtube here - definitely better to get to a showing if you can though!

2) 2-Tone film Dance Craze is being reissued and in cinemas now: Dance Craze

[danski]

Yeah, sometimes there’s just no stopping

Reminds me of this, still great after all these years, never gets old

I love this kid.
He is lost in the music.

How the fuck he pretty much walked normally after all that spinning is brilliant. I’d be all over the place after half a dozen spins.

Yep. Me too.

This is not really people dancing (though there are clips and any fuck the rules, it’s my thread!), but I’m sure people following this thread will appreciate it - it’s chock-full of sampleable quotes like ‘YOU’RE MAKING MORE NOISE THAN THE ACID HOUSE
PARTIES, BARBARA!’

Still watching this and a very young oilslickhaired Keir Starmer makes an appearance at 20.34 as a civil liberties advisor and RKS fucks him off before he gets started cos he’s never been to a rave!

Fantastic Also not technically dancing, unless you count his hands, but you must have seen this at some point?

I'm a fan of flamenco. The passion, the energy... This video was great to watch. I loved it.
