The Loop Academy is the 12 month Brazilian Zouk DJ course by the founders of The Loop.
Everything here is built specifically for Brazilian Zouk DJing - written from years of playing in this scene. The curriculum takes you from wherever you are right now - music lover, bedroom DJ, or someone already playing locally - all the way to being ready for international events.
Each month builds on the last. The early months are about listening, musical identity, and building a library you can actually trust. No DJ equipment needed until Month 5.
What you find here: lesson notes, frameworks, homework assignments, and reference material for each month of the course. Use it alongside the videos, or come back to it when you need a reminder of something specific.
Note
If you’re on the Resources path, the homework is yours to do at your own pace - no submission needed, just you and the material. If you’re in the Journey, your homework goes to your mentors and peers for feedback each month.
