POIZ Dance Industry Research
The dance sector runs on numbers that get repeated without a source. POIZ Dance Industry Research exists to fix that: each article traces its figures to a primary published page, states the year of the underlying data, and says plainly what the number does not prove.
POIZ publishes no estimates of its own here, and no market-size or revenue projections. When a question cannot be answered from a primary source, the article says so.

- How many dance studios are there in the United States?
A widely cited 2024 estimate referenced by NDEO puts the U.S. at approximately 10,908 dance studios. Here is where that number comes from, what it does and does not prove, and why federal data cannot confirm it.
