THE LARGEST BALLET & CLASSICALLY BASED COMPANIES LEADERSHIP REPORT

This is Dance Data Project® (DDP)’s fifth annual study examining the gender distribution of leadership at ballet and classically based companies in the United States. This is DDP’s second iteration of the report examining the Largest 150 companies. This report is the most comprehensive to date and represents a significant expansion in the depth of our analysis examining more critical leadership positions than ever before. Previously, DDP’s Leadership Report only examined the gender distribution of Artistic and Executive Directors, and Associate/Assistant Artistic Directors; this year’s report has expanded to include Heads of Schools, Heads of Second Companies, and Rehearsal Directors. The gender distribution of resident choreographers were previously examined in the Global Resident Choreographers 2023 Data Byte.
