The dance culture that is New York
Fewer people are watching:
Revenue is up, but audiences are down in New York City’s dance industry, a new study of the field finds.
A 20% decrease in the number of paid attendees at live performances emerged in the study, to be released Friday by the advocacy group Dance/NYC. The study looked at 172 dance organizations over a six-year period.
The audience decline appears to have been led by drops at the largest organizations, those with budgets of more than $5 million.
