Vibrations in the air, pleasant vital energy, support for dancers to indulge in a loving flow of music that leads to attractive encounters - with themselves.
Jens-Ingo Brodesser from Belgium is an internationally recognized Tango DJ who has performed in numerous tango festivals and events all over Europe.
About his DJing he says: Fashions come and go! At a DJ-set I try to catch the mood of the moment by observing the dancers and translate this feedback into the tanda. Diversity and changing impulses are the keywords. I like to think of colours and shapes like when you paint a picture. You start at a certain point and let the whole thing evolve. Maybe you tell a story, maybe you are abstract but the most important is that you express something through the music you play and that you make the people dance!
Céline Devèze from Nice/France is one of the most popular international DJs with more than 20 years of tango experience. She has played her sets at numerous marathons, festivals and encuentros all around Europe and abroad. Céline aims to maintain the energy on the dancefloor while nurturing the emotions of the dancers with a nuanced selection of music from the late 30s to the 50s. She is a DJ with elegance, emotion and energy!

It has been his passion from that day on, to enchant dancers with these incomparable moods that only tango is able to create. Baki is looking forward to grant deep insights into his passion with his beautiful music.

Pirolo Kosova Tango Orchestra
Pirolo Kosova Tango Orchestra is a group of six professional musicians from Kosovo, playing tango music collectively since 2017. The orchestra's extensive repertoire includes everything from well-known Argentinian tango music, Brazilian, and African music, to the newest tango composition styles and songs of the twenty-first century. For years, this orchestra collaborated with expert tango musicians like violinist Juanito Braceras to adopt the best tango style. Except for Kosovo, the orchestra performed concerts in Thun, Basel, and Bern, Switzerland, regularly over the past six years, in association with the professional Argentine dancers Mario and Sonia Labrunie and their organization "Viento Sur." This is Kosovo's first and only tango orchestra, and its members are extremely motivated to continue this tradition.

Gustavo Gomez & Daniela Hidalgo
Gustavo Gomez has been teaching Tango for about 20 years in Germany. Previously, he worked in a dance school in his home country Argentina. Gustavo teaches mainly in the south of Munich, Germany, also in Regensburg, Rosenheim, Innsbruck and in Argentina, where he is "at home".

Gustavo has a contagious and emotional way in conveying his technique not only to the leader but also to the follower. In addition, a shot of humor is never missing, a pinch of "the original Argentine way" and a handful of stories from real life.
Daniela Molina, born in Medellin/Colombia, started dancing very early in her childhood. She has been on stage as a professional dancer with a dance company in South America, on cruise ships and Dubai for many years and has been teaching since she was young.
She has been living in Germany since 2011 and is now dedicating herself more to Tango Argentino. For her, dancing the tango means a love of life. Above all, the dimension of experiencing a deep connection with a person has a liberating effect on a mental and physical level.
She loves to teach and to accompany her students on their way to their own tango. With her open and warm nature, every tango dancer is guaranteed to feel comfortable in her lessons.
