DJs prepare for ADE at DJ School: "Amsterdam is at the forefront"

The Amsterdam-based DJ School is helping students prepare for ADE by providing professional training and hosting a debut performance event. Students from various backgrounds travel to the city to learn within its influential dance music ecosystem, which is recognized globally for its forward-thinking scene.

The DJ School in Amsterdam, founded by Olivier Meijs in 2008, is actively preparing students for the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). The institution caters to a wide range of skill levels, from hobbyists to those aiming for professional careers in the music industry. Students receive hands-on training in various genres and technical aspects of DJing. This week, several students, including beginners, are gaining practical experience by performing at an ADE-themed event held at The Fifth in Amsterdam-Oost. International visitors, such as Justin from Canada, are traveling to the city specifically to benefit from the school's expertise and to experience the local dance music ecosystem. Meijs highlights that Amsterdam remains at the forefront of the global dance scene, consistently pioneering new musical trends that often take years to reach other parts of the world. This unique environment attracts aspiring artists who are eager to learn from the city's established dance culture.
