Default Drifting

i dont know how many of you are into or have tried drifting but i am very intrested in doing a drift day or school type thing to learn more about it!
i can drift so to speak ie i can hold a drift round a roundabout with the nose pointing at the round about but i want to be taught the rights and wrongs!

has anyone done or know off anywhere you can do this?

I take it youve got a welded diff then, or a LSD as my silvia wont hold a drift due to the open diff trying to straighten me out.

The difference here is what some people call a drift, letting the back step out on a junction isnt going to cut the pie, i pesonally think the standard diff isnt up to the job, or maybe im expecting too much from a 20year old car.
