Drinks, Decks, and Your First Real Mix - All in 90 Minutes

$49 gets you a drink in one hand and professional DJ equipment under the other. Show up with zero experience. Leave having mixed two tracks together.

Thursday, August 13th | 7:00 – 8:30 PM

Limited spots. This is hands-on, so we keep it small.

Look, You Could Just Get Dinner Again.

Same restaurants. Same conversations. Same photos you'll never look at.

Or you could spend Thursday night behind real DJ decks — the actual Pioneer setup used in Miami's biggest clubs — with a drink in your hand and someone showing you exactly what to do.

Ninety minutes later, you've mixed two tracks together. Yourself. No sync button, no app, no pretending.

That's the night.

You don't need experience. You don't need rhythm. You don't need to know what a CDJ is.

You just need to show up.

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS

90 Minutes. Here's the Breakdown.

First, you get a drink.
This isn't a classroom. Grab something, meet the room, relax. Nobody here has done this before either.

Then you get behind the decks.
Pioneer CDJ-3000s and a DJM-900NXS2 — the exact setup in every major Miami venue. Not a laptop. Not a toy controller. The real thing.

You learn how DJs actually hear music.
Beats, bars, phrases. The framework that makes mixing click. It takes about ten minutes and you'll never listen to a song the same way again.

You make your first transition.
Two tracks. One blend. Your hands. Our instructors walk you through it step by step until it locks — and you'll know the exact second it does.

Then you keep going.
The extra 30 minutes matter. You're not rushed off the decks after one attempt. You get real repetition, real feedback, and time to actually feel it.

You leave with something.
Not a certificate. The knowledge that you can do this — and a video of your first mix to prove it.

WHY THIS ISN'T A CLASS

It's a Night Out That Happens to Teach You Something

Most people who come to Sip & Spin aren't planning to become DJs.

They come because it beats another dinner reservation. Because their friend suggested it. Because it's a first date that isn't awkward. Because it's a birthday thing that people actually remember.

And then something funny happens.

They mix two tracks together, look up, and think: "Wait — I could actually do this."

Some sign up for a full course that night. Most don't. Both are completely fine.

Either way, you had a genuinely good Thursday.

PERFECT FOR

→ Date night that isn't dinner and a movie
You'll both be terrible at first. That's the fun part.

→ A birthday with a story attached
Come with friends. Take turns. Film everything.

→ Anyone curious about DJing
This is the lowest-pressure way to find out.

→ Coming solo
Half the room does. You'll be behind the decks in ten minutes, not standing around making small talk.

→ Groups
Bring three or four people. It gets competitive in the best way.

YOUR INSTRUCTORS

Working DJs. Not People Who Watched a Course.

DJ Aloona
Founder of Miami DJ Academy. 10+ years behind the decks.

Ivano Bellini
Lead Instructor. 30+ years behind the decks.

They play clubs every weekend. They know what it takes because they still do it — and they'll be standing right next to you for your first mix.

FAQ

"I have zero experience. Will I be lost?"
That's who this is built for. Everyone in the room is starting from the same place. You'll be guided step by step, and everyone finishes with a completed mix.

"I have no rhythm. Seriously."
We've heard it a hundred times. DJing is a technical skill, not a natural gift — closer to learning to drive than learning an instrument. You'll be fine.

"Can I come alone?"
Yes, and plenty of people do. You'll be on the equipment within minutes, so there's no awkward mingling phase.

"Can I bring a group?"
Absolutely — just register everyone separately so we hold the spots. Groups of 3-4 have the most fun with this.

"What should I wear?"
Whatever you'd wear to a bar. Casual, comfortable, whatever you like.

"What if I want to keep going after this?"
Talk to us at the end. Your $49 gets credited toward any course you enroll in — so if you continue, the night was free.

"What's the cancellation policy?"
Spots are limited and we usually have a waitlist. Cancellations and no-shows are non-refundable, but let us know if plans change and we'll do our best to move you to a future date.

$49. Ninety Minutes. A Thursday You'll Actually Remember.

You've thought about this long enough.

Come have a drink, get behind real decks, and find out what it feels like when two tracks lock together and you're the reason.
