Since 1983, Dance/USA has conducted an annual data survey of its member dance companies, collecting comprehensive fiscal and operational information on company activity. In 1986, Dance/USA began collecting data on personnel compensation and benefits trends in the field through a survey of its member companies. These surveys help paint a picture of the national dance field by offering an in-depth look at each year’s group of participating member companies.
