TDJ: KIRA Makarova (Paris / FR)

After many years of teaching, traveling, performing, and organizing tango events, Kira naturally transitioned into the role of a tango DJ. Each of these experiences has deepened her understanding of tango music and the unique energy of a milonga, shaping her ability to create an unforgettable atmosphere on the dance floor. Kira believes that a great DJ set is not just about playing music—it’s about reading the room, responding to the dancers, and crafting an emotional journey that keeps the energy flowing throughout the night.

Her DJing style is deeply rooted in the golden age of tango, drawing inspiration from the timeless orchestras of the 1930s and 1940s. She carefully curates her selections to offer a rich variety of moods and emotions, ensuring that dancers experience moments of passion, playfulness, nostalgia, and joy. While she holds a deep respect for tradition, she also enjoys adding a subtle twist to keep things fresh and engaging, occasionally surprising dancers with unexpected yet fitting choices.

Kira’s goal as a DJ is to provide a dynamic and immersive experience where dancers feel completely connected to the music and to each other. She believes that the right balance of rhythm, melody, and emotion can elevate a milonga into something truly magical. With a deep love for tango and an intuitive sense of musical flow, she strives to create nights that leave dancers inspired, fulfilled, and eager for more. Whether at a local milonga or an international festival, she brings her passion and expertise to every set, making each event a special and memorable one.
