It’s a great nostalgia piece but truthfully not one of the greatest movies ever made – Dance Craze was the last hurrah for 2tone and the second wave of ska, which had enjoyed a two year run in the charts and kept Britain’s youth skanking between 1979 and 1981.
In 1981, Dance Craze went on tour. Here are two adverts I found in my collection of music papers from the time and a YouTube link to the movie. Enjoy!
