View ProfileAbout Us
Starting in Feb. 2019, DDP has systematically mapped the global dance economy.
In 2025, DDP’s Leaderboard and research expanded to include positions in music, including resident composers and conductors.
By carefully iterating and refining our research methodology, our ultimate goal is to provide a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the dance economy writ large.
Recognizing the need for additional support, DDP has rolled out a series of resources, including interviews with key players, a rolling database of available grants, scholarships, and competitions, and leadership training, including the “Raising the Barre” series of interviews, and the ongoing development of a 2-year leadership training cohort.
DDP has embraced technology and rolled out an ever-expanding library of interactive maps, designed for journalists, academics, and dance company executives.
