You plan on becoming a Tango DJ or you have already taken up dj-ing and want to develop your skills? I offer workshops and private training sessions that focus on:
- Building a repertoire of classical tangos, milongas and valses.
- Learning how to build harmonic tandas, prepare cortinas and develop a well-balanced set for a whole Milonga.
- Distinguishing between different audiences. A local practica has other requirements than an international event.
- Learning how to research and develop a solid knowledge about tango music.
- Developing a basic knowledge about how to assure a good sound quality.
- Networking and exchanging knowledge with other DJs.
Please note: I am no expert when it comes to the technical aspects of dj-ing. I use a combination of iTunes and Embrace on a MacBookPro with an external DAC. Everything I need is there. If you have got technical problems or questions that go beyond my knowledge in that field, I can set you up with the experts or even invite them to join the training.
In my seminars, centre-stage goes to the most important aspects of traditional Tango-DJing: How to structure an evening, how to build up tandas and choose harmonious cortinas, how to distinguish danceable and non-danceable music and how to create a flow in the evening using varying tango styles. Depending on the length of the seminar, we will also talk about how to achieve a good sound quality, how to organise your data on your computer, about hard- and software and many more important aspects of dj-ing.
The goal is to be able to design an entire set with confidence!
Duration: There are shorter and longer versions of the workshop. A short version will require 3 hours, the long version can take up to 16 hours.
Form: I offer online and live seminars.
Language: English or German
