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

Bailando at Drift Southsea Tonight!
I can’t remember ever seeing so many people doing the bachata lesson when I arrived at 10pm! When the lessons finished I hardly stopped dancing because DJ Hazel’s mix was so good tonight – I even danced a meringue! I had a load of bachata dances at first including with a couple of beginners who kept on coming back for more and once the salsa music started I had lots of excellent stylish and energetic salsa dances with some of my favourites salseras and one in particularly I hadn’t seen for a while. Said lady kept coming back for more energetic salsa dances and finished me off at midnight! Fantastic! ❤️
