The 3Wave Dance DJ Workbook (PDF)

The 3Wave Dance DJ Workbook is a practical guide for creating and sharing music journeys that transform you and your communities.

This workbook shows you how to shape music into journeys that move people, open hearts, and help you embody your whole being.

You’ll learn how to work with music using the 3Wave format, clear templates, and instructional videos to create playlists and dance journeys that feel nourishing, coherent, and alive.

• Consistently compose music journeys like a maestro
• Make the 3Wave structure your creative ally
• Use six key elements to give your playlists coherence and potency
• Streamline your creative process with Spotify playlists, folders, searches, and algorithms
• Share your music journeys with joy and confidence

What Does the Music Sound Like

The 3Wave Dance library spans a wide range of genres and moods. The best way to know is to listen.

Below are two links to full 3Wave Dance journeys created using the same framework and musical approach taught in the workbook. The first of the three waves begins about 15 minutes in, following a mellow intro for dancers to “warm down.”

What DJs Are Saying

“Learning how to put music into a 3Wave playlist has brought me so much joy. Not only has it given me a skill that I can serve my community with, it has changed the way I hear music and even how I see my life. I feel it’s a powerful tool that will serve many communities to come and I feel honored and blessed to share it with the world.”

“Robear’s 3Wave structure has given me the tools and confidence to create playlists that gently guide our community to sink deeply into transformative dance journeys. Though each DJ adds their own flavor, the consistency that is provided by the structure supports a level of trust to flourish in the music. 

It’s a joy to watch as the bodies of newcomers and veterans alike transform as we move through the five phases of each wave, going deeper into our shared experience of the music.”
