Taught by hearthealer

For all levels of experience.

Learn to DJ for beginners! We'll cover a brief history of DJing, basic music theory, and the essentials of DJ controllers & software. Class sessions will include hands-on instruction on how to select, beat-match, blend, and transition tracks; structure a mix; and have fun DJing at home or out at a club.

Music will be club/rave-centric, but there will be space to bring your own tracks as well.

This is a safe and welcoming space for everyone who loves music <3.
