A small mining community in South Wales and a group of gay activists from London forge an unlikely alliance at the height of the miners' strike in the mid-1980s.

Tous les samedis de juillet, en juillet 1871, les mineurs, les syndicats et le grand public ont pris le contrôle de la ville de Durham pour l'un des plus grands rassemblements annuels en Europe, le gala des mineurs de Durham, connu localement sous le nom de "The Big Meeting".

Dancing in Dulias was made by members of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) and Lesbians Against Pit Closures during and immediate after the 1984/85 minders strike. Like the forthcoming movie, Pride, it documents the interactions between lesbians and gay men and the miners and their families in Dulais in South Wales - only this time it's the real thing. As well as some memorable footage that includes the Blaenant Lodge banner leading the 1985 Lesbian and Gay Pride march and LGSM members struggling with bingo at the local community hall, the film documents the wider political impact of this seemingly unlikely alliance.
