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 tonight with DALE Afro Latin Entertainment
There weren’t as many as usual left dancing after the bachata lesson because some of the usuals were attending Mike‘s birthday dinner but they did turn up later. I got plenty of dances though before that and even more after. Had some lovely dances with Nikoletta, Goreti, Beata, Emily, Hannah, Tara, Iyanna, Mindi, Maria and many other charming ladies. I also danced with a total beginner who managed a bachata very well when I just lead it to her. She also managed a salsa with a bit of slow motion leading at first and just a few words about the quick-quick-slow nature of the beat. ❤️
