This is DDP’s annual update of the Largest 150 Ballet and Classically Inspired Companies Report for the fiscal year 2023 (and available FY 2024 data). This year’s report marks DDP’s continued commitment to providing timely, transparent, and data-driven insight into the economic realities of the dance field, particularly within ballet and classically inspired companies in the United States. Now in its second year of expanding beyond simple rankings by expenditure alone, DDP again includes comparative rankings by company revenue, and surplus or deficit status.
Note: This report has been revised as of 10/13/2026 due to some omissions and late response by several companies.
