A ballet company is a type of dance troupe that performs classical ballet, neoclassical ballet, and/or contemporary ballet in the European tradition, plus managerial and support staff. Most major ballet companies employ dancers on a year-round basis, except in the United States, where contracts for part of the year are normally offered. A company generally has a home theatre where it stages the majority of its performances, but many companies also tour in their home country or internationally.
