Its origins can be traced back to 1661 with the foundation of the Academie Royale de Danse and the Ballet de l'Opera (1713) by King Louis XIV of France. The current official name of the company is Ballet de l'Opera national de Paris. It is the successor company to the Ballet du Theatre de l'Academie Royale de Musique. A ballet company is a group of dancers who perform ballet, 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 (typically thirty or forty weeks) are the norm. 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.
