The 32-beat rule is a fundamental concept based on how dance music is organised into phrases.

Think of a phrase as a chunk of music that has a beginning, middle, and natural end.

• Most dance tracks use 8-bar phrases, meaning 32 beats at a time in 4/4 time.
• Tracks introduce new sounds, remove layers, or hit drops at 32-beat intervals.
• Mixing on the first beat of a new phrase creates seamless, professional-sounding transitions.

Counting in 32s helps you predict when tracks will change and time your mixes perfectly.

Prices differ based on the tutor and lesson format.

• Whether you are starting from scratch or refining existing skills
• Your teacher's credentials, such as industry certifications or performance history
• Lesson duration and how frequently you want to practise
• The format you choose: online, at the tutor's studio, or in your home

Many tutors offer discounted rates for block bookings or regular students. Online lessons can be more affordable while still delivering quality instruction. You can usually try a taster lesson to see if the teaching style suits you.

Generally, the venue is responsible for music licensing, not the individual DJ.

A PRS licence allows a venue to play copyrighted music legally in public.

• Most professional venues already pay for the right to host live and recorded music.
• If you DJ at private parties in unlicensed spaces, you might need separate cover.
• You can apply for a Limited Online Music Licence if you stream DJ sets publicly.

Always confirm with the venue whether their licence covers your performance before the gig.
