Dance Data Project® today announces the release of its Collegiate Dance Programs Faculty & Administration Report. This Report expands DDP’s widely-cited body of research on the dance economy into the realm of academia. This research analyzes the faculty and administrators of 173 degree-granting collegiate dance programs at public and private institutions in the United States.

DDP Research Lead Michayla Kelly notes, “This Report, our 16th since February 2019, analyzes over 1,600 dance faculty positions at institutions of higher education. Academia hosts a significant number of jobs and opportunities for dance professionals – it is an important aspect of the field, and an avenue which can provide dance professionals with long-term job stability and benefits.”

Dance Data Project® today announces its 2022 Research Calendar. Since its first published Research Report in January of 2019, DDP has produced 15 full Reports and 6 mini Data Bytes. The following is a projected timeline of extensive research– due to the nature of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on dance organizations, this is subject to change.
