What is an Embodied DJ Training?
This DJ Training goes far beyond just the technical skills of mixing tracks and operating equipment - it’s about creating a profound connection between the music, your body, and the dance floor.
Unlike a traditional DJ training that focuses more on technique and pleasing a crowd through the mind - this Embodied approach focuses on helping you to feel the music even deeper in your body, understanding both the physical and emotional flow of a dance floor, and developing the confidence to share the music that YOU love in true authenticity.
When these pieces all come together, we can move bodies, hearts and souls to create truely transformative journey's through sound.
You're ready to:
- Become confident with the Technology: With a hands-on, step by step, easy to follow process - You'll be loading tracks, setting hotcues, and finding your flow so that you can actually enjoy the DJing experience and not be in a stress state!
- Learn, practice & understand: beatmatching, transitions, and effects - So you can create a smooth musical flow that attunes to nervous systems, opens hearts, and takes dancers to Ecstatic bliss states.
- Experience music fully: with daily movement & embodiment practices you will understand somatically how different soundscapes, tempos, and rhythms touch both our physical and emotional body. You'll then be able to select music that really moves a dance floor in a much deeper way.
- Expand your musical horizons: this training is a community melting pot of musical inspiration and sharing. We'll listen and dance to so many different genres, and you'll receive a lot of free tracks for your library. You'll also remain connected to the global community for continued inspiration and feedback.
Then you will...
- Find Your Unique Sound: Energy resonates, so you'll be supported to play the music that YOU love, and experience the deep satisfaction and growth of expressing yourself authentically through music.
- PLAY LIVE: this training will build and fully support you to experience the exhilarating feeling of sharing your 1st set with our vibrant group. You'll have time and help to fine tune it, and will be personally coached through all the nerves and doubts that inevitably arise. Once you've danced through this big 1st hurdle, you'll be ready for the world!
- Get industry secrets: Learn how to market yourself, approach event organisers and be professionally prepared to play gigs, or even set up your own event as soon as you leave the training.
This is how we do it:
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
See that orange roof on the left of the photo?
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.
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.
