Susan loves many different kinds of blues music, but there are special places in her heart for ballroom blues, badass female singers, and funky rhythms. She has deejayed at North Star Blues, Sweet Molasses Blues, bluesSHOUT!, Blues Muse, BluesGeek and numerous other events in addition to frequent local dances in her home scene of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Susan enjoys nothing more than keeping people up past their bedtimes dancing to amazing music and can't wait to be back home behind the DJ table.

Kenneth aims to get you grooving and moving every time you step out onto the dance floor.

Sarah Elise started DJing almost as soon as she started dancing, falling fast and hard for the Blues. She was a regular fixture behind the DJ booth at Boston’s weekly dances for more than 5 years, and can now be seen inspiring and challenging dancers at venues around the Bay Area. She has brought her playful, groovy style all over the country to regional and national blues events, including Mean Old Blues, Blues Muse, Rose City Blues, Mile High Blues, Steel City Blues, Greenville’s Winter Blues, Nocturne Blues, Champagne and Roses, Albany Lindy and Blues, and Boston’s own Sweet Molasses Blues.

Kristen has been social dancing and DJing since 2008, but started diving into blue music after her first North Star Blues Exchange in 2013. She loves music that can transport you for a few moments: to a creaky, family porch in the Delta or a packed, cobblestone street in New Orleans. She also enjoys playing songs that inspire improvisation and playful movement. Kristen is local to Minneapolis and delighted to return as a North Star DJ...Oh! And she wants to dance with you, if you can handle how much she will sing in your ear.
