The Drift Bar in Southsea is the venue for Bailando every Thursday run by DALE Afro Latin Entertainment from 10pm to 1am. When I arrive around 10pm for the salsa dancing upstairs there are usually plenty of people who attended the earlier bachata lessons from 8:30 to 10pm staying on for half an hour or so to practice to bachata music. Around 10:30pm salsa is added to the mix and people start coming up from downstairs particularly when it gets crowded. Many members of Kasia Rajka‘s salsa family (Salsa Solent Portsmouth) are usually there and members of The UoP Cuban Salsa Society ‘Sonrisas Salseros’ usually arrive around 11pm. DJ Hazel provides the music upstairs while DJunior takes care of downstairs.
Venue: Drift Bar at 78 Palmerston Road, Southsea, PO5 3PT
Parking: There’s plenty of parking round the back in Ashby Place Car Park.
Entrance: £2 after 10pm

Philip Wake Great party atmosphere at Drift as usual with a good mix from our resident DJ Hazel and lots of charming ladies to dance with including Edyta, Danielle, Susanna, Agnieszka, Paulina, Anita and Mindi. A good warm-up for my weekend in London which features a night of salsa dancing with my 22 year old daughter Katrinah at Salsatricity on Saturday which is not far from the University of Hertfordshire where she’s reading Bio-Medical Science! ❤️
