Dance Craze... ska from 1980.

Dance Craze is a 1981 American documentary film about the English 2 Tone music genre.

The film was directed by Joe Massot, who originally wanted to do a film only about the band Madness, who he met during their first US tour. Massot later changed his plans to include the whole 2 Tone movement. The film, shot in 1980, followed Madness, The Specials, The Selecter, The Bodysnatchers, The Beat and Bad Manners on tour throughout the United Kingdom. A soundtrack album of the same name was released the same year, featuring most of the songs that were featured in the film.

My favorite performance, by the Specials.


English Beat


Bad Manners


Selecter
