    How it works
    DJ Basic Express can take up from 2 weeks to 6 weeks (usually around 1 month), depending on the timetable established with a student. It includes 5 individual lessons with a personal trainer and 15 hours of independent practice. You meet with your instructor, study theory and apply it in practice - first under guided supervision, then on your own. Practical and theory classes alternate with accordance to the student's progress. Gradually, the exercises become more complex and your mixing technique becomes more professional.

    Curriculum

    All of the sessions will be held in our private studios on professional DJ hardware. If you are just starting out we will help you choose your first gear on our free 30 minutes interview call.
