Attendees who long ago tossed
aside dreams of spinning turntables in front of legions of
appreciative dancers can finally see what they have been missing.
The Scratch DJ Academy in New York City (212-529-1599;
www.scratch.com) will
dispatch deejay instructors, many of them celebrities in their own
right, to private events anywhere in New York, New Jersey or
Pennsylvania.
Potential spinners get hands-on instruction at stations set up
with multiple turntables. As a bonus, learners can take home a
custom CD of all the thumps, blips and squeaks they created in
class.
