Over the course of 8 in depth modules, you’ll learn how to:

MODULE 1
WHO ARE YOU?
In this module I'll share in detail the personal steps that led me to becoming a successful DJ.
We'll explore your life long connection to music, and identify your strengths and potential challenges.
After this module, you’ll understand deeper why music is so important to you, and have a clearer vision on what you wish to create and how.
MODULE 2
MUSIC EXPLORATION
Finding and knowing great music that really works on a Dance-floor comes 1st before DJing.
Here we'll expand your musical horizons with inspiring shared playlists, and understand music on a deeper physical, emotional and energetic level.
MODULE 3
EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE
Knowing what gear to get, how to set it up and what all the buttons mean can be so time consuming and confusing!
Here we simplify and explain everything step by step, to save time, money and hassle.
All the software settings you need are explained to help you learn good habits right from the start so you can begin your creative mixing exploration with ease.
MODULE 4
UNDERSTANDING AND PREPARING YOUR TRACKS
Not a musician? Doesn't matter!

These elements are the key foundations of DJing. Getting them dialled in from the beginning, will set you up for smooth and easy mixing down the track.
MODULE 5
SONIC
SOUND-SCAPES
Now that we've got good foundations in place, it's time to start getting creative.
Here you'll learn how to manipulate sound using a range of Effects (FX) and Equaliser Frequencies (EQ). I'll share with you when and how I use these, and the effects it can have on the energy of the dance floor.
This is going to fine tune your ears and awareness of different sounds, instruments and overall energy as we begin to spark your creativity.

Hi, I'M DION
From a young age, I learned that I could use the power of music to express myself in new and exciting ways. I've traversed the world many times over as a musician, and transformed my inner-self through music. I can’t wait to help you uncover your creativity and confidence to do the same.
Everyone has an inner DJ somewhere inside them. We've all got our favourite songs that both lift us up, and also help us make some sense of this crazy world. Figuring out the technical side of things and embodying the confidence to share music publicly can be pretty overwhelming!
I believe that by sharing the music that I love, I can contribute to the collective heartbeat of joy, freedom and unity through dance.
In this online program, I can help you make your own impact on the world around you, wherever you are.
Whether you’ve never even picked up an instrument before in your life, or you're looking to add another element to your skillset of music, movement or ceremonial facilitation, I look forward to taking this creative journey with you together.
