Abstract	Abstract This research explores how dance education contributes to employment opportunities and economic development. Utilizing a descriptive survey research design, the study was conducted in urban cultural centers across Tamil Nadu, India. The target population included professional dancers, dance teachers, students enrolled in dance institutions, and arts administrators. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select 150 participants. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire and interviews. Descriptive statistical tools including frequency and percentage analysis were employed. Findings revealed that 74% of respondents acknowledged direct employment through dance education, while 68% linked it to local economic stimulation. The research concludes that structured dance education is not only a cultural asset but also a viable sector for economic growth.
