Description: DJing a party is one of the most fun and rewarding activities in the world. A good DJ can turn a boring event into a packed, energized dancefloor. This course is designed to turn aspiring DJs into confident performers, able to select music, read a crowd, and control energy throughout a party. We will discuss the equipment one needs to own, how to mix songs together seamlessly, and what promoters and planners look for when hiring a DJ, both inside and outside of Rice. This is a deeply practical course, offering students the chance to be a part of the next generation of student DJs at Rice and elsewhere, culminating in a final project where students perform live in front of their classmates and friends.
