For Parents & Guardians

Your Child Doesn’t Need Experience. They Just Need Curiosity.

First Spin is designed to welcome beginners. Students do not need to own DJ equipment or know how to DJ before joining. We create a supportive environment where young people learn at their own pace while being challenged to grow creatively and personally.
