Some ppl dont have that option though. It also seems like quite the obligation to ask your friends to teach you. Funny enough remember when you offered to drop a few hints to me a few years ago... turned out the bottom line was just parctice more and youll get there :p However it's like learning a sport. You could go out and practice your ass off trying to learn hockey... but what if there was a better way to hold your stick? Or an easyer way to try a back hand? ect... Anyone wishing to take these classes may be looking for things they never thought of to teach them selfs. Better to start on the right foot than the worng foot and try to correct it later. However I alsot think that by having a dj teach them selfs may make a posibility for a more unique dj. Not having other influeses around or 'this is the way do it' put in front of you, gives the opertunity for someone to come up with ne ideas of how to do things. Overall I think it just depends on the person and what there looking for.

great djs don't necessarily make great teachers and vice versa - just cause your friend spins, doesn't actually mean he or she would be willing to or even able to teach you effectively.
I remember when i was first learning to spin, i went over to a friend's house after he had promised to give me a few tips on beatmatching. His advice? "ok, you see that record over there? Just make the beat go the same speed as the one that's playing" bleah
