Fredag eftermiddag: Carina
Carina is a long standing passionate tango dancer and her motivation as a a DJ is to inspire you to dance tuned to your intentions and express them in your every step.

Her tandas intertwine in a remarkably creative way, and her timely choices never fail to surprise you with that little extra when you least expect it. Carinas music draws on the treasure trove of the golden age, a mix of classics with a hint of contemporary, guaranteed to keep you in a tender embrace throughout the milonga.
Fredag kväll: Jenny
Tango has been Jennys passion since the late 1990s; dancing as a follower and leader, teaching, dj-ing and working to spread curiosity about tango music. “The last ten years it became clear that I experience connection strongest in close-embrace dancing and with traditional music, mainly from the 30s and 40s. Therefore, this music is always the core of my dj-ing, together with carefully selected cortinas”. As a DJ Jenny is focusing on comprehending the mood of the event and her ambition is always to bring the best out of the connection between dancers, music and movement and encourage people to be a part of the dancefloor with a smile.
Lördag eftermiddag: Ingrid
Ingrid vill spela musik som lockar till dans och har en lustfylld energi. Hon vill bygga upp musiken för milongan med en blandning av rytmisk och kraftfull musik som blandas med mjukare och mer romantiska tongångar. Hon spelar främst klassisk tango från guldåldern med de stora orkestrarna från Buenos Aires. Hon började som dj 2010 och spelar huvudsakligen på milongorna för föreningen Tango Buenos Aros Västerås, där hon är en av föreningens hus-djs. Hon har även spelat några år på Lunnevads Midsommartango och på Tango Retiro i Rättvik samt på Midnight Light tango i Umeå.
Lördag kväll: Jaana
Jaana has been dj'ing since 2006, mainly in milongas around Finland and events such as tango Frostbite, Midsummer tango fusion and World of Tango Festival/ Maailmantango-festivaali, but also internationally. She plays traditional music from late 20-ies to mid 50-ies and plays in classical tandas with cortinas, trying also to give special attention to the cortinas. Jaana also has great curiosity, knowledge and passion about tango music. She describes “the milonga as an event where people come together to dance, but also to socialize. I think that the dj is there for the dancers.” This will be Jaanas first dj-set in Sweden.
Söndag eftermiddag: Omar
Omar has been very passionate about tango music for a long time, and this shows in his choice of songs for each tanda. His style is rooted in the traditional Golden Age of tango, but he is open to playing almost anything that fits the mood. As a DJ he always makes sure to play beautiful and danceable music that is well balanced in rhythm and melody and very much in tune with the current atmosphere. In the last several years he has DJ-ed in the U.S., the middle east, and several locations in Scandinavia
