Dan's obsession with music has been life-long. He’s taken to DJing because he loves sharing his music, inspiring other dancers, and guiding the energy of a dance. He’s constantly challenging himself to bring new material to his fellow dancers and works hard to offer a variety of music in his sets that stays true to the roots of the dance. He loves all styles of music and his sets tend more toward authentic Jazz and Blues, but he can bring the party if the dance calls for it.

Originally hailing from sunny California, Mark has been effectively nomadic since 2010 spending much of the last five years dancing through the United States and world. Mark began partner dancing in 2005 and has been playing music for dancers since the beginning. In 2007 he was a founding member of an alt Blues dance venue in San Luis Obispo and has helped throw more than a dozen dance events across the country. He plays only the most quality songs from his eclectic musical collection and has stolen unapologetically from every great DJ, musician, or music aficionado he’s encountered. His musical offerings this weekend will range from gut-wrenching blues to soul-lifting jazz.

When Nicole first started dancing, she didn't even know that blues was a musical genre, let alone something you could dance to! It didn't take long for her to fall in love with the depth and complexity of the music heard at her local blues venues. Soon she was building her music collection, obsessively stealing songs, and searching everywhere for new music. After a few years building up her DJ chops in her local scene, she started traveling the country as a blues DJ and instructor.
Nicole delights in finding the commonalities between songs, across a wide range of blues styles, that allow her to string together an interesting and varied set that still has continuity, flow, and emotional umph. |
