# All-Female DJ Workshops This Immersive Workshop Was Created to Empower Musically Inclined Women By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-07-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dj-workshop References: [nowtoronto](https://nowtoronto.com/music/toronto-dj-workshop-with-dj-chippy-nonstop/) & [twitter](https://twitter.com/chippy_nonstop?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author) Chippy Nonstop, a DJ, rapper and singer from California, hosted an all-female DJ workshop at Toronto's Studio Bar as a means of encouraging women to get more involved in an industry that they're often discriminated against in. For the event, any female-identifying persons with an interest in learning how DJ software works were welcomed -- with a panel of talented musicians made available to teach them the ropes. This included the likes of DJs Internet Daughter, CL, Peach, Kare and Bambii in addition to Chippy Nonstop -- all who carry a mutual goal of diversifying the electronic music scene. The event's creator explained the need for an all-female DJ workshop by saying "I want young women to be able to learn in a safe environment, because a club isn’t a safe environment." Given the event's success and support, Chippy Nonstop plans to host more of the DJ workshops within the city. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **All-female DJ Workshops:** Efforts to empower women in the DJ industry through immersive workshops. - **Diversifying the Electronic Music Scene:** A push for more diversity and inclusion in electronic music through workshops and panel discussions. - **Creating Safe Spaces for Learning:** The promotion of safe environments for women to learn and grow in the male-dominated DJ industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Music Education:** Opportunities for DJ workshops and classes specifically designed for women to learn and excel in the electronic music industry. - **Event Management:** The organization of workshops, panels, and events aimed at empowering women in the music industry. - **Gender Equality Advocacy:** Efforts and initiatives to promote gender equality and create safe spaces for women in male-dominated industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Toronto Cannabis Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cannabinista.md) - [International Women’s Day Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womencentric-celebrations.md) - [Female-Led Nightlife Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nightcap.md) - [Car Education Clinics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-education-clinics-she-auto-knows-winter-car-clinic-returns-to-empower-w.md) - [Women-Focused NFT Residencies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-residency.md) - [Female Chef Delivery Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-by-women.md) - [Female-Centered Restaurant Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trust-bae.md) - [Woman-Run Music Labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gorgona.md) - [Female-Focused Toronto Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monday-girl-social-club.md)
