Ask HN: Best way to grow an arts startup?

Ballet is mired in tradition. Startups are all about changing the things that people never questioned. It's almost an oxymoron to try to run a professional ballet company as a startup - at some point you may have to pivot to not being a ballet company, and then you're no longer a professional ballet company.

Yeah... I'm bracing myself for a flood of really bad takes on this post.

I'm not entirely sure what OP's idea of a "startup" or "the next level", aside from taking a regular "small business" and turning it into a "slight-larger small business". However, one of my childhood dance teachers founded a small dance theater (http://toygunstheatre.com/) which seems to have grown in the past few years, so the later is not unheard of.
