Currently, no independent system has been prepared by special classification for the industrial fields related to dance but the fields are included as detailed items of the performance industry in the contents industries. This study aims to establish the concept and covered range of the dance industry as a precondition of the industrialization of dance and to propose systematic classification of the dance industry, reflecting the similarity between specificity and production. Firstly, problems could be found in applying the characteristics of the dance industry to the existing classification system, such as the limitation in the range, ambiguity in the cross-industrial domain, and the inconsistency of standards for classification between industries. Secondly, the “dance industry” can be defined as the pro-duction activities that create all tangible and intangible values related to dance, such as dance performances, contents, education-related information, services, and commodities. Thus, the scope of the industry should include not only the viewing of dance performances, but also various types of education and experiences, creative work to provide cultural contents, manufacturing, distribution, and service industries. Thirdly, this study considered the connectivity of Korean Standard Industrial Classification(2017) based on the supply perspective, taking into account the utilizability of statistics preparation like industrial correlation analysis. In addition, this study was based on Porter’s “value chain” model(1985) and borrowed the concept of ‘industry cluster’ (Kang, 2005) from the market-oriented perspective. This study is the basic framework that can produce effective statistics which has a significance as the baseline data to establish the special classification of the official dance industry in the future to promote quantitative and qualitative growths of the dance industry with production activities accompanying the creative economy.
