BALI
DJ TRAINING
Ecstatic Dance
Step into your Sound, Play your 1st set in just 7 days!
The Classroom
The first half of the week is spent undertaking an easy to follow, step-by-step process, to learn all the software and hardware skills required for DJing. Perfect for beginners with no previous experience.
INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT
We all learn at different speeds and have unique strengths and weaknesses.
Plenty of time is allocated to really make sure you're comprehending all of the technical skills, as well as supporting your creatively to bring through your own unique style and music expression.
Rhythm Exploration
Understanding beats, tempo, and how it all affects the body and energy are key for becoming a great DJ.
Daily guided drum circles and jams give us a true 'hands on' embodied experience, to then integrate that with song selection and mixing tracks on the DJ decks.
Bring any of your own instruments, and I'll also help guide you on how to weave live music with your electronic sets, just as I've been doing with drumming for many years.
Ceremony
Drop deeper into music, creativity, and yourself, with powerful live music and vocal activation experiences.
Be YOU!
Play the music that YOU love! Create an offering that's uniquely yours!
This is an open space for more than just Ecstatic Dance.
Create a special ceremony?
Combine DJing with Yoga or breathwork?
Play a banging club style evening set?
Add live instruments or vocals?
The floor is yours!
Morning Movement
Every morning we open the day, with Dance and Embodiment Practices, guided by a professionally trained teacher.
By deepening our physical and emotional awareness of dance, and how it connects to a broader range of sounds, we can then select music for DJing with greater atunement, connection and intention.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Ecstatic Dance is all about community. The intention of this week is to create a nourishing space of group coherence, where we lift each other up with support, and create a melting pot of inspiration, music sharing and ongoing collaboration. In all past trainings this has continued to prosper and grow, well beyond the week we share together.
PLAY LIVE!
This is what it's all about!
After learning all the skills you'll be supported to create and play your 1st set at the end of the week.
You'll choose a time slot, learn how to plug into the sound system and do a "sound-check" just like you would at any event.
You'll be coached through any nerves and fears, learn how to navigate potential challenges, and get to play your music to an incredibly supportive dance-floor.
After leaping over this 1st hurdle you'll be ready and primed to then share music with the outside world. The majority of students have gone on to play live gigs as soon as the next week or month after the training!
LOCATION

Yes, this is where it all takes place! Authentic East Coast Bali (Jasri)
Plenty of nature to nourish and inspire our journey, fresh coconuts, and ocean swims to cool off after dancing.
This family style yoga centre was one of the 1st ever in Bali, and we love to respect and connect with the local culture the whole way through.
Testimonials
Your Facilitator:
Hi,
I'm Dion, I've been an active musician my whole life, and a teacher of everything from high school sports, surfing, yoga, drumming, mens work and tantra.
With over 10 years of experience as a DJ and educator, and a background as a professional drummer, I specialize in guiding people through the transformative journey of becoming Embodied DJs. My training goes beyond just the technical aspects of DJing; it’s about unlocking a deeper connection between music, movement, and the soul. Having spent years playing rhythm at the heart of music, I bring a unique perspective to teaching, helping over 100 students discover their authentic sound and amplify their presence on the dance floor. Based in Bali, I’ve had the privilege of working with an international community, helping students tap into their unique expression, and share it with others through the art of ecstatic dance.
My work is rooted in transformation, both personal and collective. Through immersive retreats and live training, I help students create powerful dance experiences that elevate energy and foster emotional connection. It’s about moving beyond the music to embody the rhythm of life, using sound as a tool for personal and spiritual growth. Join me to explore how DJing and ecstatic dance can be a gateway to profound self-discovery, connection, and transformation.
I believe every person has an inner DJ waiting to be unlocked. We all have those songs that lift us up and help us make sense of the world around us. But the journey of mastering the technical side of DJing and finding the confidence to share your music with others can feel overwhelming at first.
Whether you’ve never touched an instrument or you're seeking to deepen your connection to music, movement, or ceremony, I’m here to guide you on this creative journey. Together, we'll explore your unique rhythm and help you step into your power—ready to shine in the world and on the dance floor.
