SMOLNA ACADEMY

Smolna Academy is a place where passion for electronic music meets real stage experience. You learn from professional DJs, work with top-class equipment, and create music in a space where it truly comes to life – here and now. We offer courses tailored to different levels of advancement – both for those just starting their journey with DJing and for those who want to develop their technique, refine their style, and take it to the next level. We work in small groups, in an authentic club atmosphere – and the highlight of your learning will be a performance on one of Smolna’s stages. You also have the opportunity to further develop and refine your skills in our training rooms, with the option of recording audio, video, and streaming. Smolna Academy supports not only technical growth but also artistic development – from workshops to building your own identity as a DJ.
