If turn-tables and vinyl records are your thing now you can master the art of mixing music at South Beach's newest DJ school, Scratch.

Jamie Keogh: "There's is tons of people, especially in Miami that are interested in this artform, but aren't gonna go out and by all this equipment and teach themselves when they have no idea what they are doing."

This place teaches spin students of all levels the tools they need to be a DJ.

Choose a six-week beginner's class or if you have some experience, just sign up for an advanced producing class using the latest equipment.

Jamie Keogh: "This is a total science, every little movement we make has a term, a name, combinations it's totally broken down into a real artform and a real instrument."

Clifton Melerine: "Is not just a place for a beginner, scratch is a place for an advance DJ to come and practice and build routines."

So if you wanna make spinning your deal -- take advice from the pro and learn to be a pro all right here in Miami.

Jamie Keogh: "We have the best DJs in the world to put a pattented curriculum and devise the best way to teach this art form."

Belkys Nerey: "Classes at Scratch start at $300 per term... Whcih also gives you unlimited access to the equipment."
