DJ’ing
DJ Bärbel Rücker | Tanzbar is an experienced Tango DJ who has performed full evening music sets at Tango marathons, Tango festivals, and milongas in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Italy, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, Greece, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine. She lives and teaches Tango in Copenhagen.
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

- “I like to describe DJ’ing as a way of story telling. One song is already a little story. Combining 4 songs gives a little chapter. The combination of the tandas during the night creates the whole story.”
