The theory required to make this stuff is so minimal - chords + extensions, note divisions, modes, and not much else really. Mixing and sound design is what he is really going to have to sink a lot of time in to.
You can fake sound design. Just grab a good sample pack or get some "dubstep" presets for massive. You can NOT fake music theory. If you know how to write a good tune, thats going to far overshadow any shortcomings you have with sound design.
I think in most types of modern dance music, relying on samples is going to make you sound a lot more generic than not having a huge knowledge of music theory. I definitely acknowledge that he needs theory - im a music teacher, you guys are preaching to the choir :P I just think after he has some basic concept of theory/arrangement he needs to sit down and really learn his DAW, get a handle on his synths and plug-ins and especially spend a lot of time with his synths and understand the sounds that they are capable of producing. This type of stuff is more important if he wants to really get going with making dance music in my opinion than learning advanced theory
