Vartan Khachatarov

Vartan has been dancing, DJing, teaching, and organizing long enough to have endured second and third burnouts. As a DJ, he is the undisputed king of the slow jam and the relaxed babymaker, offering hot takes and pure vibes. He has DJed for so many national events, I initially truly didn't know where he was from. Luckily, he has returned to organizing here in colorful Colorado as the third leg of The Triplestep. He is also a stellar dancer who has won a bunch of competitions and afterwards credits his partner about 150% for each win, real king behavior. Notably, he's able to dip anyone, because he is strong and gentle. In the last few years, his shoe, sweater, jewelry, and scent game has escalated. He's a person you can talk to when you're having a rough go. You may know him from the internet, but his hair is even softer in person.

Jen Delk

At age 3, Jen started her DJ career in the basement, on a Fisher Price record player, before an audience of dolls. She spent countless hours listening to funk, disco, soul, jazz, R&B, and pop music throughout her childhood and went on to study music from elementary through high school. After moving to Austin, the “ live music capital”, she fell hard for dancing in dive bars to gritty blues, jazz, and swing music. She started DJing for a live audience in college when she ran a small swing dance club on campus and started teaching classes. Jen lives in Denver now. She DJs for Blues and Swing dances locally and out of town, obsesses over the music choices for classes, and goes out to see live music as often as possible.

Felicia Bode

Felicia grew up listening to her uncle’s band playing gritty Chicago blues, and the music has just been a part of her being since then. When she started social dancing, she was immediately drawn to blues music, and has since committed to honoring the people and history of blues music and dancing. She ran the blues dance scene in her hometown of Cleveland, and now heads up Denver’s monthly blues dance event, Shimmy Shakin’ Blues. As a DJ, Felicia prides herself in finding a mix of different styles of blues music that you will make you never want to get off the dance floor. She can’t wait to spin some tunes for you at MHB!
