- Thu 7: Salsa Bailando at Drift in Southsea on Thursdays!
- Fri 8: Que-Rico 2-room monthly party at the Bedford in Balham!
- Sat 9: El Bembe’ 2017 Christmas Party!
and writing the following blogs:
- Fri 8: A WISH THAT CAME TRUE!
- Mon 11: TUMBLE DRYER STUFFED!
- Mon 11: TOTAL COST OF RUNNING A CAR!
- Wed 13: SUMMER TIME IN WINTER!
Every week more and more talented salseras turn up at the Irish Club and sometimes it’s almost as good as a London venue in terms of the number of quality of dances I have! As I don’t drink I gave the event organiser the bottle of wine I won as Best Dressed and Most Consistent Man 2017 on the first Friday of the month at The View in Brighton. Lauren thanked me and arranged for it to be used it as one of the prizes for the fancy dress competition.
I didn’t go to Drift because I didn’t feel like it!

MORE ABOUT SALSA AT THE IRISH CLUB AND DRIFT AFTERWARDS
Salsa Katanga runs an evening of salsa dancing at the Irish Club from 8:30pm-11pm every Wednesday evening! Join Katanga, Andy, Skye and Claire for salsa lessons, with 4 levels from beginner to advanced from 8:30pm or just come social dancing at 9:30pm as I do. It’s an excellent venue with parking nearby, sprung dance floor, reasonably priced drinks at the bar and a friendly atmosphere. A variety of salsa, bachata, animations and a taste of kizomba are played by a proprietor and DJ whose enthusiasm for salsa dancing is infectious to say the least ! 🙂
See more details at on this facebook event, page and group.

VENUES
Portsmouth Irish Centre (Google map) with Salsa Katanga (I plan to arrive at 9:30pm just for the social dancing!)
and then at
Drift Bar Southsea (Google map from Irish Club) with The RUMBA (I plan to arrive at 11:30 to see if there are enough dancers there to carry on dancing the night away but these days usually not! If I’m with Teresa I can usually have a few with her but sometimes the music isn’t motivational to partner dancing!)
