Rebekah's first venture into Argentine Tango came in 2007 when she discovered the Tango Club at her high school in Portland, Oregon. After graduating, serving in the armed forces, and then returning to Portland for university, she rediscovered Tango and fell in love all over again with the unique music, dance, and the warm, welcoming community.

From 2012-2019, she regularly hosted and DJed Portland’s infamous Wednesday Tango alternative event. She’s also traveled to DJ for all-night alternative parties and both small and large festivals across the United States, which all require a slightly different approach to managing the flow of dance energy. Creating and managing that flow well is her theory and strategy for a memorable milonga. For Rebekah, the most important factor in what makes great alternative music is that it creates a relatable experience for dancers of all experience levels, whether the music is familiar or not. She feels that the best alternative tracks are similar enough in structure to traditional Tango music that it feels natural to use Tango steps or a fusion of dance styles to express the music. The best tracks are also similar in their ability to evoke an emotional response which we, as dancers, interpret through movement. Rebekah’s goal over the course of a milonga is to stay connected to the dancers, their energy, and their relationship to the music, and to play only the tracks the room needs to find that unforgettable flow.
