Professional infrastructure for dancers & choreographers
— without gatekeeping.
The Collective Dance Agency is a membership-based platform offering structure, guidance, and curated access for creative professionals navigating the dance industry.
Built by a dancer. Designed for clarity, growth, and ethical collaboration.
Why CDA Exists
The dance industry often expects talent to self-navigate professional growth without structure, transparency, or support.
Many dancers and choreographers are left:
Promoting themselves endlessly on social platforms
Navigating unclear pathways to professional work
Unsure how to position their experience beyond auditions
Without a centralized, professional space to grow
CDA was created to change that — not by making promises, but by providing infrastructure.
What CDA is — and what it isn’t
CDA IS:
A curated professional network
A membership-based infrastructure
A place for education, guidance, and positioning
A bridge between talent and aligned opportunities
Founder-led and relationship-driven
CDA IS NOT:
A casting call board
A guarantee of paid work
A social media replacement
A self-upload portfolio marketplace (yet)
This clarity is intentional — and protects both talent and clients.

Built with intention — growing with its members
The Collective Dance Agency is in its early stages and growing intentionally.
Rather than scaling quickly or making promises it can’t keep, CDA is being built in collaboration with its early members—artists who value clarity, professionalism, and long-term sustainability.
Early members help shape:
Platform direction and priorities
Educational focus and shared resources
Community standards rooted in ethics and respect
This is an opportunity to join early—not to be sold to, but to help build a professional ecosystem that serves dancers and choreographers with care.
Meet The Founder
Hollis Bourne-Frye
Founder & CEO
Founder-led. Community-built.
CDA was founded by a professional dancer and choreographer with firsthand experience navigating the realities of the dance industry—both its opportunities and its gaps.
The agency exists not as a personal brand, but as a response to what many artists face: unclear pathways, gatekeeping, and a lack of professional infrastructure. CDA is built alongside its members, with transparency, collaboration, and ethical growth at the core.
This platform isn’t about one person—it’s about creating something sustainable together.
