This course is for DJs looking to level up! Designed specifically for conscious dance DJing, it hones your ability to mix across genres and tempos, teaches skills not covered in our DJ School, while expanding your DJ software knowledge and igniting your creativity.

More than just mixing tracks, conscious DJs create experiences that deepen connection and cultivate community. This requires finesse in track selection, seamless transitions, and an intuitive feel for the dancefloor. In this 7-module masterclass, five internationally recognized conscious dance DJs share their go-to techniques, creative workflows, and essential practice strategies. Originally a live online course, this self-led version lets you learn at your own pace.

What our students say

“This training has been so good! Amazing trainers as usual, amazing pro students. We had the chance to dive in so many techniques and aspects about djing. .. My skills has gone so much better, I am really satisfied about this training and I highly recommend it. Thanks so much DTM team, and students!”

“Such a helpful experience! When i signed up i wondered if it was the right course for me because there was a lot of talk about technical stuff of Traktor. This i learned already by other means and i wanted to deep dive in the ecstatic dance part and how to make sets/dances and learn new tools for that. The course gave me so much new ways to make and look at an ecstatic dance set. Also the teachers where awesome. They have so much knowledge combined and they gave me really new ways how to work with transitions, making a set and improvise or play during a set/dance. I am still grasping to use all the tools learned and probably will do for some time but it gives so much energy and confidence. It was totally worth every penny!”

“I am proud to have become part of the DTM Family. It was a real "trip" with wonderful people, all items I wished to be handled were explained and trained so intensely...”
