Organization Description
Founded in 2015, Dance Data Project® (DDP) is a global resource for the study and analysis of major national and international dance companies, venues, and choreographic awards. In addition, DDP surveys competitions, festivals and scholarship programs worldwide. We provide resources for those seeking information about female choreographers, set, costume & lighting designers, as well composers of classically inspired dance music. In addition, we produced the online Global Conversations series during the pandemic, researched available Covid-19 resources, and compiled a growing list of female performing arts leaders worldwide.
Recently, we have broadened our scope to include global surveys of resident choreographers and season programming. DDP also now surveys modern & contemporary dance companies and now ranks the largest 150 classically based companies by budget. We have added two new online series: Raising the Barre and a short series on motherhood and dance, Moving Forces.
DDP’s work has been featured in the New York Times, NPR, NBC, Forbes, Fortune, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, and both on radio and television.
