The Dance Brigade are a ska band from London. Founded by Keith Finch (JA13, Crown of Thorns) and Lee "Kix" Thompson (Madness) in late summer 2007, they were soon joined by Jennie "Bellestar" Matthias (The Belle-Stars). The other musicians came from projects they had been involved in.

Their ska-based music is a hybrid of styles mixed in with technology; a 'Global Pillage' of sounds, reflecting the multi-cultural and global heritage of the band members.

Their live shows are a clash of new generation ska and visuals, with live videos running con-currently to the music, which feature computers and a live band on stage. They are joined onstage by various guests from the reggae world including Dave Barker (Dave and Ansell Collins) who has recorded a track with them.
