In April 2008, Bärbel began DJ’ing, introducing her personal approach, combining a rich variety of traditional Tango music, throughout Europe. The music of the late nineteen twenties and thirties is Bärbel’s passion. In the course of an evening DJ’d by Bärbel, Tango dancers dance to music of Di Sarli, D’Arienzo, Canaro, Firpo, Calo, Fresedo, Biagi, among others. Always striving for an inspiring atmosphere, and to maintain effortless flow on the dance floor, Bärbel’s style is at once romantic, rhythmical, playful, and full of surprises. A combination of Tango songs from the past, late forty Tanda, fast Valses, is only one of many examples of the atmospheres Bärbel likes to create for the dance floor.
All her DJ Sets: 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015.

Tango is a dance for couples that originated in Argentina in the beginning of the 19th century. Dancing Tango is like speaking a language of the body, which the partners use to relate to both each other and the music. Improvisation and awareness is essential to Tango dancing.
