How to create a sustainable dance company!

I was just talking to another dancer/choreographer about sustainable dance companies. I mean, let's be honest its hard to fund a dance company no matter how good you are. How do you obtain the necessary funds for creating work, costumes and paying your dancers? Major non-profits and dance companies are folding because they are unable to answer that question.
I found this article focusing on this topic and I wanted to share it. It's focusing on a trio of hot new choreographers; Andrea Miller/Gallim Dance, Brian Brooks/Brian Brooks Moving Company and Kyle Abraham/Abraham.In.Motion. Did they figure it out? I think they are on there way but their companies are still young. It will be interesting to see how their business models develop.
Thoughts?
