Tracie’s Latin Club (TLC) run a salsa night every Thursday at St Barnabas Church Hall, Lodge Road, Southampton SO14 6QS from 8pm to 11pm. Sometimes there is some extra at 7pm: either a bachata lesson for experienced dancers featuring Naomi Holloway or Joanna Wosk with partner Alex Magnusson or a Ladies Styling session featuring the amazing Joanna Wosk or the legendary Colleen Daniels. Then from 8pm-9:30pm the TLC team run the salsa lessons as usual. More details may be seen on the facebook group or the website. Tonight is a salsa lessons only night.
I’m not interested in the the lessons myself so aim to arrive around 9:30pm for the social dancing which for this night is mostly salsa with some bachata but there is a room dedicated to kizomba lovers behind the stage. Afterwards I may be going to Drift in Southsea for their Bailando session until 3am but may not because the room upstairs is not available for salsa dancing tonight as it is booked for another purpose. I’ll see how I feel at 11pm after TLC!

MORE ABOUT THE EVENTS
The proprietor, Tracie, has made arrangements with nearby places of business for parking to be allowed as the spaces in the grounds of the hall itself are quite limited and restricted to use by the ladies! You can park at Kwik Fit, Simply Bathrooms & Indigo Press. Be careful not to use the parking spaces next to Indigo Press because these are private spaces for the adjoining flats whose residents have been known to become quite angry when their spaces are used to the extent I once noticed that two cars had been parked on the pavement to prevent the offending cars from being driven off! The cars on the pavement each got a parking ticket so the police had to be called to sort it out!
