What Is Dance Craze About?
The premise of Dance Craze without spoilers.
An energetic visual and musical documentary of Britain’s 2‑Tone ska surge in the late‑1970s, featuring high‑octane live shows by the movement’s key figures—Madness, The Specials, The Beat and others. The film captures rocksteady rhythms, jump‑and‑shout dance, and the gritty streets where the working‑class youth forged a vibrant, rebellious culture, preserving rare concert footage of a once‑thriving scene.
