Learn to DJ!

Music is a love language, and for many, sharing music is a form of self-expression. If you think DJ-ing will help you express yourself but you feel overwhelmed by all the beeps, bops, knobs, and twisties, then come by our workshop designed to help you get behind the decks. No experience is required! We'll run through the basics and you'll get to try your hands on mixing some fun tunes! Hosted by Laura Vox, Chris Bruno, and Justin Mutter
