Meet the DJs

Susan trained in classical piano and violin through high school and has been studying and teaching Cultural Folk dances since 1980. The deep study of world folk music and dance traditions led her to a curiosity, then a love, for Argentine Tango.  She has been organizing tango classes, workshops, milongas, and curating her own music collections since 2015.  Playful and interesting music selections are her jam.

Lucia was born and raised in San Juan, Argentina, and has a deep passion for tango music and dance.  She has taught, along with her husband, numerous classes in Idaho and Wyoming. Her love for tango has led to becoming an avid researcher of orchestra styles, and she plays a variety of traditional orchestras from the 1920s to the 2000s with a focus on the 1940s. She has been a guest DJ at various events in Idaho and surrounding states and is excited to DJ at the upcoming Heritage City Tango Marathon.
