I found through Google an article with information of audiences:
"As a result of the 1992 NEA survey we know, for instance, that 4.7% of the U.S. population has attended at least one ballet performance in the previous year. The figure for New York City was 10%, and for Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and the major West Coast cities it was 7 to 8%. Eighteen- to twenty-four-year-olds accounted for 37% of all ballet attendances in 1992, down from 47% in 1982... In contrast to ballet, the modern dance audience has never been the subject of a nation-wide, or even a large, inclusive survey. We don't know its size, nor do we know with any certainty what its social profile looks like."
It was published in 1998. JSTOR: Dance Research Journal is a biannual publication with historical and critical theory of dance. I think this is a valuable resource that I will keep consulting throughout my research.
