Manchester Twerk · Northern Underground

The underground counterweight. Manchester runs DIY, with stronger Northern soul + UK garage roots than commercial dance.

Manchester's twerk scene is more underground and self-organized than London's. The city's dance culture connects directly to Northern soul, UK garage, and the Madchester legacy — meaning local twerk crews often bring a different musicality and floorwork tradition. Studios in the Northern Quarter, Salford and Manchester city centre run regular classes. The student population (Manchester + MMU) feeds a constant turnover of new dancers from across the UK and abroad.
