5 January 13:30–15:00 Gabriele Sabato “Guiding the flow in the TTVTTM scheme.”

Managing the energy is one of the biggest challenge during a djset.

Vals and Milongas can be an useful tool towards the night. Apart from the choice of the vals/milonga itself it is important to “prepare” the dancefloor for the coming tanda.

“In this workshop I will describe how I use the tandas to guide the flow from tango towards milongas and valses”

Entrance fee 40 UAH.

6 January 15:00–16:00 Laura Iaru “How do we build a milonga for our tangueros with our playlist, as the argentine DJs do at their milongas in Argentina?”

The seminar is dedicated to everybody interested in tango music for milongas and the cultural-social context of milonga (so not necessarily only for djs) & to the ones interested in becoming djs and also for other djs if they are interested in hearing Laura's opinions:) on:

  • choosing the orchestras: how, why, when
  • building the tandas: how
  • how we create energy & keep it during milonga – putting "honey, chocolate & chilli" in our playlist
  • just a few hints about tango culture of Argentina: the tango music, etiquette and atmosphere at milongas porteñas.
