Our djs
We believe that DJs are one of the most essential, if not the MOST essential, elements of an excellent mambo event. They create the mood of the festival, make us want to get onto the dance floor even when we are exhausted, channel the energy of the party towards that euphoric, uncomparable state that makes us addicted to mambo, and help us discover the most exciting musical gems alongside the classics we all know and love.
For Perfectly Mambo, we invited the DJs who we love for their musical knowledge, that contagious energy they create on the dance floor, their wonderful synergy when they work together, and that unique family flavor we strive to create at Perfectly Mambo events. We also admire them because they play music for the DANCERS, making sure to respond to the energy of the dance floor and offer our guests the most sensational musical experience.
We are proud that five of our nine DJs are from Switzerland! They are all truly amazing, and we are so excited to share their talent with our international guests. And we are overjoyed to have two new fabulous international DJs joining our ranks: DJ Julian the Duke from London and DJ Anael from Nice. They need no introduction, their fame precedes them, and we are sure you'll love their fantastic sets in August! And we are thrilled to have DJ Gaby from Paris and DJ Tuli from London back with us in 2026!
Our mambo instructor
Amanda has been a professional dance instructor since 2000. She is the creator of the Boogaloo project, dedicated to preserving the history of Latin Boogaloo music and dance, and educating others about it. She's one of the smoothest mambo dancers we've ever met, and she's both an incredible leader and follower. She is known for her unique grace, style and elegance, and she's mesmerizing to watch on the dance floor!
In Geneva, she'll teach two special workshops of 1.5h each: shines/solo movement on Saturday and cha-cha/boogaloo on Sunday. You will learn to move with elegance and grace, without rushing your steps, without thinking too hard how to time your shines to the music, and looking fabulous in the process! These workshops will focus on solo work (no dance partner is required).
resident mambo live on sunday evening
On Sunday evening, Resident Mambo will be back in Geneva to play for you! They brought amazing energy to Geneva last year, and we are so happy to have them back! The band, based in Bern and led by Santino Carvelli, has incredible musicians and dancers, and their music is perfect for social dancing. Doors will open at 20:30, and the band will start playing at 21:00. The concert is included in all weekend passes. If you don't have a festival pass, you may purchase tickets for the concert only, or buy a combo ticket for the concert and mambo party that will go until 5 am.
Our media team
Mambo festivals are all about living in the moment, feeling the vibe, enjoying the connection with your dance partner, and being ourselves on the dance floor. A great festival leaves you with so many wonderful memories... but we want to ensure that not all of them continue existing only in your head, heart, and soul! That's why we have invited an incredible team of true media magicians to capture some of these memories and share them with you and the world.
What makes our photographers and videographers special is that they will try to stay as discreet as possible, so that you can focus on your dancing and partner and not be distracted by blinding stage lights and intrusive camera objectives. That's when the best photo and video moments happen!
Our wellness team
With all that fabulous dancing, you shouldn't forget about taking good care of your body! We'll be providing free water, tea, coffee and snacks throughout the festival to keep you hydrated and energized; we'll finish our parties at 5 am to let you sleep at least 6 hours a night and make a break between day socials and night parties to give you a chance to nap. And we'll also be bringing awesome professionals to take care of your aching bodies and teach you how to make them stronger!
All pass holders will have access to free yoga and stretching classes before the day socials. We will also have our incredible manual therapist Emrah coming back to work his magic on you. And we are working on bringing affordable massages back this year!
