Dance Craze is a 1981 British 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, whom he met during their first US tour. Massot later changed his plans to include the whole 2 Tone movement. The film, shot in 1980, comprised performance footage of 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 fifteen of the songs that were featured in the film. Later versions of the soundtrack album do not contain the Madness tracks, adding tracks credited to the Special AKA, a name under which the Specials were known.

Le documentaire commence avec un résumé de l’histoire du groupe avant l’enregistrement de l'album, avec Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun et Echoes. L'album est expliqué en détail, de la pochette à la réalisation des chansons, sauf Any Colour You Like qui est absente du documentaire. Le film présente quelques démos originales faites par Roger Waters, dont celles de Time et Money. David Gilmour explique la façon dont il joue ses solos de guitare. Richard Wright, présente les séquences de piano des chansons Breathe, The Great Gig in the Sky et Us and Them et explique comment il les a composées. La dernière chanson, Eclipse, clôt le documentaire accompagnée de plusieurs commentaires sur l'album en général des interviewés pour terminer avec le fameux effet sonore du battement de cœur.

Le documentaire présente la vie de Tupac Amaru Shakur du point de vue du rappeur lui-même. Narrateur et protagoniste du film, il raconte sa vie, ses actions et son art avec ses propres mots. Un peu différent du DVD "Thug Angel", mais beaucoup plus apprécié.
