Northern Soul is a music and dance movement that emerged from the British mod scene in northern England in the late 1960s. Mainly consists of a particular style of black American soul music based on the heavy beat and fast tempo of the mid-1960s Tamla Motown sound. Associated with particular dance styles and fashions that emanated from the Twisted Wheel club in Manchester and spread to other dancehalls and nightclubs.
