Both on and off the dance floor, Jackie is happiest when connecting deeply with people and building community. This ethos is reflected in her dancing and DJing where she consistently weaves a warm, welcoming, playful space for dancers to connect. As a DJ, she has a keen sense for a milonga’s mood and flow, crafting emotional arcs with solid Golden Age tunes as well as fresh, resonant tracks to keep spirits and toes floating through the night. Jackie has DJ’d at marathons and festivals including the Windy City Tango Festival, Philadelphia Tango Festival, Cleveland Tango Bowling Marathon, Nor’easter Marathon, and the Terrapin Tango Festival. She was also a regular DJ at popular Washington, DC milongas for many years. Jackie currently DJs, teaches, and performs with her husband, Sean Ericson, at the Princeton Tango Club and the greater NJ/NY/PA area.
