FAQs

What’s my time commitment?

PhDJ includes 3 hours of calls per week, plus assignments and connection with your cohort for feedback and sharing. Expect at least 4 hours of weekly homeplay. If you’re familiar with the joy of DJing, you already know how the time flies and we welcome folks to play above + beyond the minimum time commitment.

Our students are powerhouses with fulls lives and demanding schedules. We’ll be speaking with every single applicant to get clarity around your level of readiness and commitment.  

What if I fall behind?

Remember we’re doing this because it’s fun, fulfilling and an overall life upgrade.

Our intimate PhDJ community is a collective and captivating rocketship ride designed to create the momentum and camaraderie you need to follow through.

If you miss a class or homework assignment here and there, you’ll still be able to follow along and catch up on your own time. There’s no way to fail this class. What you put in is what you get out (x10!) and we’re here to support you in exceeding your own expectations.

How much is tuition?

Regular payment plans range from 9K - 11K USD. Due to the international nature of this program, we look at tuition in light of the different socioeconomic realities our PhDJs experience worldwide and factor in local economics, and we’re committed to making this program accessible to everyone who’s a true fit.

PhDJ is an investment of time, energy and resources. We expect those who fully apply the skills we’re sharing to be able to turn their passion into a valuable business model and begin to make back their investment by the end of the program.

Financial assistance is available for those experiencing extenuating financial circumstances. If you’re interested in requesting assistance, we’ll talk it through on your enrollment call.

What kind of equipment do I need?

The true art of DJing has nothing to do with fancy gear. Some of the greatest DJs of all time used nothing but two turntables to craft their legendary sets. Modern DJ software brings the functionality of those turntables directly to your laptop or iPad.

At minimum, you’ll want DJ software for your laptop or iPad. Beyond that, we recommend investing in a basic DJ controller, which will make controlling your mixes much easier.

If you’re investing in basic DJ software and equipment for the first time, we recommend starting with Native Instruments’ Traktor products, and your total investment should come in under $600.

Is this all virtual? Will we get to meet in person?

Mostly virtual! We will all come together for a three day IRL immersion in February. We have folks joining us from all over the globe, and we definitely want you there in person!

You will also be creating in-person experiences and building your team IRL, so you’ll get plenty of real world, in the flesh experience throughout the program as you continue to connect virtually with your global PhDJ cohort.

How many folks will be joining the program?

We capped enrollment at 30 in 2022 and 2023. We are growing our leadership team to accommodate a slighty larger cohort in 2024. We’re building a group that unites a diverse set of perspectives as well as cultural, musical and training backgrounds, and we won’t grow faster or larger than what allows for real connection with individualized attention.

How can I connect with the cohort in between our group calls?

Our course materials and community forum lives on CIRCLE, a user friendly community platform and app. You’ll also be in a small pod led by one of our incredible PhDJ graduates with your fellow PhDJs for mix review, sharing, troubleshooting and all around connection.

Do I have to launch BODY LVNGUAGE? What if I just want to learn to be the best DJ ever?

We’re here to empower you to do what you’re here to do in exactly the way you’re here to do it. Our curriculum will give you the foundation for launching a life of embodied leadership and intelligent entrepreneurship.

Some of our trainees will go on to launch BODY LVNGUAGE or implement the BODY LVNGUAGE culture inside their organizations. Others will go on to become that badass DJs they’ve always wanted to be, wherever and however they want.

Everyone in training is here to make an impact through dance, music and community in alignment with our ethos. Beyond that - everything is totally possible.

What’s the difference between DJing and music production? Will you be teaching us both?

We teach the high art of DJing. The shamanic path of moving energy through a room + transforming bodies with sound. Music production (making your own original beats) is an entirely different skillset. If you’re looking for a purely technical course, we recommend checking out these resources.

When are classes? Do I have to be there live?

Group calls will be held on Tuesdays + Fridays from 1:00-2:30pm EST (NYC time).

Tuesdays are jam packed with curriculum, guest teachers and experiential learning. Fridays are for live DJing and Q+A. This is your chance to get hot seat coaching from Tasha + the team, plus personal attention from our incredible guest lineup, so we highly recommend being there live.

There will always be a replay posted shortly after the live class for anyone who needs to miss.

Wait what are all the dates again?

Will you be sharing music with us?

Sure, that’s easy. And you’ll be sharing lots of music with each other, too!

Here’s what’s WAY more important: we’ll be giving you everything you need to find + refine YOUR unique sound … and all the music that expresses what you’re here to bring.

Am I too old for this? Too young? Too nerdy? Too weird? Too straight? Too queer? Too scared?

Seriously, it took you 14 billion years to get here.

Could you be anything but right on time?
