DJ’ing
dj Bärbel Rücker | Tanzbar
Bärbel is an experienced DJ who has performed full evening music sets at Tango marathons, festivals, and Milongas in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Italy, France, Portugal, Germany, and Switzerland. She lives in Copenhagen, where she regularly DJ’s at Wednesday Night Milonga Milonguita.
Bärbel’s Tango DJ’ing approach includes songs mostly from the late 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s. In addition, her distinctive use of Cortinas provides a structure which further enhances the dancing experience (especially at bigger events so that dancers have the opportunity to change partners). Finally, her ability to adapt her selection of music to the multiple elements that make up a particular Milonga is an aspect of Bärbel’s individual style which has become her unique signature. For example:
- The specific time of day or night the Milonga is taking place
- The Milonga venue and its environment
- The number of people present
- The skills of the dancers as observed on the floor
