want to learn!

started up a queer dance party like 10 years ago, and haphazardly learned to dj from a friend. my sets were always pre determined and my transitions were bleh. i was just in it to give my community a space to dance and feel free, where the hadn’t been one previously. stopped at the onset of covid. i was asked to play for a party this may, and i grabbed my old af traktor z1 and started reading—realizing there was so much i didn’t know. i am married to traktor cause that’s what i learned on, so i picked up an x1 mk3 and the party went well. i have since been asked to dj other clubs in town, and i’m really excited and have been practicing a bunch. i’m elated and so proud of myself! however, i also realize that there is once again a huge gap in my knowledge—i’ve never used a cdj and i don’t know how to beat match….i want learn to be able to sample parts of other songs in the songs i’m mixing eventually (one day, i hope). i have literally no idea where to start—i guess my question is, should i try to do a bulk of my learning with my current setup with an online course etc., or should i look to pay someone to teach me w their setup, like a coach of sorts? i know i use the em-dash, this isn’t ai content and i’m forever upset that the chatbot stole this from me. ty in advance.
