You plan on becoming a Tango DJ or you have already taken up dj-ing and want to develop your skills? Since 2008, 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.
The graduates of my training are working all over Europe and the USA and are known for their highly danceable and harmonic sets.
In my seminars, centre-stage goes to the most important aspects of traditional Tango-DJing: How to structure an evening, how to build harmonious tandas, 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
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.
