what comes after PhDJ?

Our grads go on to launch their own club nights, education programs, embodied leadership trainings, retreats and ecstatic dances. Others incorporate the skills and awareness cultivated through PhDJ into their workplace, coaching practice, personal relationships and beyond.

Mixing tracks together masterfully is one thing. Standing in front of a huge crowd and radiating the kind of presence, command and artistry that says I’ve got you and you’re safe to surrender with me … is a whole new level of being.

PhDJ invites you into the highest expression of your technical + creative capacities and the strongest embodied leadership you’ve known.

Graduates of PhDJ will have the option to partner with us to launch BODY LVNGUAGE in their city. Those who choose to keep playing will receive ongoing mentorship, including everything you need to build your ethical dance cult.

“PhDJ is intense and exciting! I feel surrounded by phenomenal people. After 2 months it’s already proven to be so worth it! 

This isn’t just a DJ training, it is also a one-of-a-kind coaching program. This groups of people – peers, teachers, lecturers, coaches – they’re fascinating and amazing! The curriculum is super diverse and everything has been very useful to increase my understanding of what happens on and around the dance floor and in and behind the decks. 

I’m already passing on the lively vibrations and life lessons picked up from class, supporting others in understanding their own obstacles and fears and encouraging them to pursue their desires. This program affects the people around me for the better.”
