Xmas Tango DJ's
She discovered tango in 2002, and since then, she has come a long way. For her, tango is a continuous learning journey.
She loves both teaching and musicalizing, but what she enjoys most is feeling the energy and connecting with the dancers. When she musicalizes, she connects with the people and the dance floor, always striving to be 100% present and responsive to the atmosphere.
See you on the dance floor!
Jo Switten (Belgium)
Jo Switten, also known as El Huracán, came into contact with Tango Argentino in the late 1980s. He took his first lessons in 1990 and immediately fell in love with the music, the dance and the social aspects of milongas. At the time, there were not many opportunities to dance, so he started collecting tango records and started DJing at national and international tango parties.
Jo is passionate about tango but is not a librarian or archivist of tango music. He strongly believes that a good milonga is about fun, about the pleasure of dancing and being together, without losing the authentic character of a true Argentine salón de tango. Prepare for an evening of dancing and a good atmosphere.
Los esperamos por una noche de garufa!
Jan-Henrik lives in Berlin, a true city of tango. Ever since he first discovered tango music more than 20 years ago, he has been passionate about Argentine tango and has continued to collect music both for dancing and listening.
His music is regularly heard at milongas in Berlin and on the national and international tango scene. He has also played at several Encuentro Milonguero events.
His musical choices reflect his own dancing preferences: lively, joyful and powerful, with a touch of melancholy and drama, always warm at heart. His sets feature a selection of the finest music from the Época de Oro.
Above all, his goal is simple: to see people smiling and enjoying the dance and the music.
Since he started dancing tango in 1991, Bart Wijgergangs has been passionate about tango music. That passion only grew stronger when he began DJing in 2006. He is a resident DJ in Eindhoven and Maastricht and regularly plays at traditional milongas, encuentros, and marathons throughout the Netherlands and across Europe.
As a DJ, Bart carefully reads the atmosphere and the dancers’ energy, aiming to keep them inspired and on the dance floor.
For Bart, the greatest reward is a full dance floor and smiles—sonrisas—on the faces of the dancers. That is what continues to inspire him.
Katharina’s milonga evenings reflect her personal musical tastes, while she always remains open to requests from the dance floor and does her best to meet the expectations of the audience. With the natural flow of tango dancing in mind, she easily adapts the mood and atmosphere, creating and maintaining an authentic tango experience. For her, a well-chosen and thoughtful selection of music is like a box of chocolates: each one tastes different, yet they are all incredibly delicious. She offers boxes filled with exquisite musical chocolates to satisfy every taste — pure pleasure, with no fear of gaining weight!
