Salsateca London and Ola Latina run a regular event called El Bembe every 4th Saturday of the month usually at The Bottlescrue but tonight it was held at Draft House Chancery, 1 Plough Place, London, EC4A 1DE. The atmosphere is very friendly and I always have a good time dancing to the motivational music of DJ Johnny Gee!
Format: The venue offers plenty of space for dancing in an L shaped room with a bar.
Timetable:
- 7:15 Bachata lessons
- 8:15: Salsa lessons
- 9:15: Social dancing
- 2am: Close
Nearest Tube: Chancery Lane – 3 minutes walk.
Parking: There is parking in the streets nearby from 7pm onwards but as this venue is inside ULEZ and I have an old diesel car I park near Scala and use my free bus pass to travel the last 1.2 miles.
Entrance: £12

Philip Wake Excellent El Bembe Party London at Draft House Chancery tonight – hot and humid both in terms of the atmosphere and the dancing! Thank you for my beautiful dances Sasha, Elena, Miho, Brook and many other lovely ladies.
Catch you for a dance next time Laura – such a long time since we’ve danced!
I danced a bachata with one lady who said afterwards: “I’ve never danced bachata before but you lead it to me so well I really enjoyed it!” That brought a big smile to my face as I love to hear that I’ve brought pleasure to a lady on the dance floor as it is my razón para ser un salsero!
Love: Laura Dietrich, Miho Mija Shigematsu, Elena Zucchini, Brook Robertson
