Class Rotation
To provide you with a well-rounded and dynamic training experience, CDK University Program works with a rotating mentor system. Throughout the year, our mentor duos rotate between class days, giving you the opportunity to learn from different teachers and experience a variety of perspectives and creative approaches.
During each rotation period, you’ll train in original choreographies created by your assigned mentors. This unique structure allows you to explore different styles, strengthen your adaptability, and challenge yourself in new ways.
By working with multiple mentors throughout the season, you’ll broaden your skill set, discover new ways of moving, and deepen your understanding of movement, performance, and artistry.
