## About Afro-Latin DJ Services

### Why I DJ Afro-Latin

I’m DJ Jude and honestly, I just want to see people dance. Afro-Latin music is my thing - it’s what gets me moving and what I love sharing with others. I started out in 2020 and since then, my whole focus has been on making the dance floor feel alive.

### What You’ll Hear

I play a lot of Salsa Bachata Kizomba DJ sets, mixing tracks for both 'On 1' and 'On 2' dancers. You’ll catch some Mambo, Jive, and those Salsa Romantica tunes that hit different. I’m all about authentic Latin dance tracks - nothing too commercial, just real music that makes you want to move.

### How I Keep It Real

I’m not just stuck behind the laptop. You’ll see me vibing with the crowd, sometimes even jumping in with my Guiro for a live percussion DJ set. I like to keep the energy up and make sure everyone’s feeling the music, not just hearing it.

### Where You’ll Find Me

I play at Mumbai Afro-Latin socials, plus regular nights in Thane and Pune. My own weekly SBK social, "Noche Caliente", is where I get to experiment and connect with dancers. I also DJ at big national festivals and private Latin-themed parties. If you want a dance floor that actually feels alive, that’s what I do.

[DJ Jude](https://mytribe.in/djayjude)

### My story

Hey, I’m DJ Jude. If you’ve seen me at a party, I’m probably grinning behind the console or on the floor, vibing with everyone. Dancing came first for me, DJing just followed. I’ve played everywhere from Goa to Kolkata, always chasing that groove. My mentor keeps me sharp, and yeah, I’m always up for silly challenges like balancing toilet paper to get my steps right. For me, it’s about connecting – music, dancers, all of us, one big vibe.

### My work

- **Afro-Latin DJ for Parties & Festivals**: I spin Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, Mambo, and Jive for social nights, festivals, and private events.
- **Salsa Social Nights Host**: I run regular Salsa social nights like 'Noche Caliente' in Mumbai and Thane, sometimes kicking off with a free workshop.
- **Dance Workshops & Classes**: I teach Mambo footwork workshops and partner-work sessions, helping dancers find their own style and have fun.
