Collaborate with CDA.
Become a founding creator.
Dancers are already asking for classes and mentoring with CDA. Collaborate with us as a founding creator: you teach, we handle the platform, promotion and payouts.
Your expertise,
powered by our platform.
We handle the business — you handle the movement. CDA highlights your unique voice while providing the infrastructure, audience, and community to scale your impact.
Masterclass Instructors
Low-commitment, high-impact virtual teaching. Teach live virtual masterclasses — we handle registration, streaming, and payouts. Choose a flat fee, a revenue share, or a hybrid. Hybrid-ready: invite local students to your space while we stream to the global Collective.
CDA Collective Mentors
Share your expertise through a single recorded masterclass to start. Your class is hosted on the CDA platform for members, and you're paid through the option you choose when you sign. As the Collective grows, we may invite mentors to develop longer-form programs.
Mentors and instructors collaborate with CDA as independent contractors. You choose a payout option when you sign your agreement: $100 per completed class, 50% of net revenue from your class, or $50 plus 35% of net revenue. "Net revenue" means revenue CDA actually receives for your offering, minus refunds, chargebacks, sales tax, payment-processing fees, discounts and other transaction costs (your agreement has the full terms). Payouts are sent monthly through Stripe, within 14 business days after month-end. Earnings aren't guaranteed; CDA is an early-stage platform. Applying is always free.
How You Get Paid
When you sign your agreement, you choose how you're paid for each class or masterclass:
New to CDA? The flat fee and hybrid options include a set payment for each approved class. Revenue share is best suited to creators who bring their own audience and know they can convert sales.
Revenue share can come from class passes and packs, from members who attend your classes or watch your masterclass through a membership, and from members who join through your own link or code. Payouts are monthly through Stripe.
CDA is an early-stage platform. Revenue-share earnings aren't guaranteed and may be low while we grow. Promoting CDA is always optional.
