Of interest is the great Northern Soul dancing in this vid. There's a guy at the end with a little chinny beard & red jumper who does it very well... He's more Blackpool than Wigan, but he's got some lovely moves.

My policy has always been to register a new identity before actually being Banned, so that my amusements retain continuity.
