My name is Arnoud de Graaff. I live in Nijmegen. Started dancing tango in 1991 and started DJ-ing in 2002.

Apart from dancing and DJ-ing, I am also preparing some books and manuals on tango. One of them you may have come across; it is the El Corte DJ manual (with co authors Michiel Lombaers and Eric Jeurissen). If you want to receive it in digital form, send me an email.

Currently I am also prparing texts on how to organize tango festivals and about an intergrated social, economical and cultural history of Argentina from the view point of tango. Both these texts are still in a premature phase.

As aDJ and a dancer I am a child of El Corte. In DJ-ing I mainly play from la epoca de oro (forties and early fifties), but every once in a while I will play something special; just to break the dancers habits and give some new energy. My favorite musician is Francisco Canaro. Over the years I travelled Europe to DJ and dance. I have been to Malta, England, Germany, Poland, Norway, Sweden and Scotland. And since I love to add some new countries to this list, feel free to invite me as your DJ :).
