DJ'ing

Gina enjoys learning about the history of swing era music by way of the fine art of DJ'ing. She is available to DJ at Lindy Hop, Balboa, and Blues events, as well as private parties. Gina has an ever-expanding collection of jazz music comprised mainly of songs from the classic swing era of the 20's, 30's, and 40's, including some more contemporary numbers that really make you want to move. As a longtime dancer herself, Gina understands the kind of music that dancers want to hear. Gina has been a regular DJ in the Atlanta area since the fall of 2006 and can be found spinning at Hot Jam and ASEDA dances.

DJ Bio

Gina digs the old school jams. Especially instrumental ones. With trumpet. But aside from that, she likes to play whatever she thinks will keep people dancing: fast, slow, hot, sweet, bluesy, balboa-y, and charleston-y. Gina draws from both the time-tested, dancer-approved favorites of the 30's & 40's as well as contemporary swing bands who are keeping the tradition alive. She also likes to throw in lesser-known gems from the 20's and the occasional Motown soul number. Her favorite artists include Chick Webb, Muggsy Spanier, Bill Coleman, and Duke Ellington. If it's got that nice chunky rhythm, you can bet she'll play it.
