Marie Fortin—better known as DJ Miss KosmiK—has long noticed a lack of women behind the turntables in Whistler.
So, she decided to do something about it. On Thursday, May 2, she’s hosting her first Intro to DJing Class for Women from 5 to 8 p.m. at Moe Joe’s Nightclub. Participants don’t need to have any experience, just “a passion for music and desire to learn,” according to the event description. (They must, however, be women over the age of 19.)
The class will cover DJ equipment, song structure, tips for organizing your music and an introduction to beat making.
That class limit is 12 and, as a result, Fortin says it’s filling up fast. She’s also planned a second class for May 16. Registration is $60. Sign up by emailing [email protected].
