Your 5 Proven Steps To DJing Like a Pro, Part 4: Performing

So you want to be able to DJ like a pro, but it's hard to know where to start, it's hard to know what to practise, and it's hard to know if you're getting better.This proven five-step formula, first popularised in our book Rock The Dancefloor! (which has now reached its second edition and is a global bestseller), is your answer.Each of the five steps in this teaching method identifies an area to work on. When you work in all areas, it has a "multiplier effect". By approaching your DJing hobby this way, you’ll get noticeably better – fast – and you’ll have more fun doing so. You’ll find you’re never stuck for something to do, and your progress will be obvious, not least to you!Here we're going to look at step four, which is performing, before moving on to look at the final step, success - we've already covered steps one to three in previous episodes.Nowadays, we define performing in a very broad way. What we're talking about here is delivering the finished product of DJing. In other words, creating something that others can enjoy. It's one thing to have mastered one or two transitions that you do over and over again in private, but that's not really DJing - they're just tricks. Delivering the finished product is what makes you a DJ.This episode covers three ideas that will help you understand this area of DJing.
