A nonprofit theater dedicated strictly to dance! I caught a Martha Graham tribute for just $30. The theater was on the smaller side, so there wasn’t a bad seat in the house (and trust me, we sat so close to the stage and so far right that we were worried!). Audience ushers seemed very strict but I appreciate that they’re volunteering their time for the love of dance.
Complexions was one of the best performance I ever watch at NYC. I do definitely recommend this art of Ballet 🩰 mix of contemporary dance. Just magnificent!
Nice place ; just the right size theater, no matter where you sit , you will be in a good one . clean / updated ; didnt get any pictures this timewell located , good restaurants near by
This is a lovely old, small theatre. We saw a flamenco performance here and were able to get a real feel for the performance.
Here for a kids ballet dance performance. Oh those kids can dance and so much energy.This is a run of the mill theather and has almost everything you expected. Tickets pick up at the window. Waiting area inside. Service drinks by the counter during intermission. And I saw someone bring in an order of sushi from outside. I shoulda done the same. :(Shows run for about a hour to a half and seats are like a budget airline plane size. If you have long legs, pick a seat by the alias. From the look of it, the place is well run. We have assistance finding our seats and they are all the way in the back. If you dont want to sit, you can also stand in the back.I think about every seat is the same here with the perfect view anywhere.I dont think there are much to talk about here except to just write a little bit more. Oh yes super clean seats.check out the pictures I took.
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY MY PRE-SHOW COCKTAIL AS THE AIR CONDITIONING ONLY WORKS INSIDE THE PERFORMANCE SPACE. I HAVE BEEN COMING TO THE JOYCE FOR YEARS NOW BUT THE ATMOSPHERE IS GONE. STAFF APPEARS MISERABLE. I DARE SAY I NO LONGER ENJOY SPENDING MY WEEKENDS INDULGING IN DANCE…
This is the mecca for modern dance in NYC. Great sight lines, accoustics. Every dancer and dance company worth seeing appears here.
Awesome space! This is a consistently great venue for dance of all disciplines. I dont think theres a bad seat in the house. This photo is Balcony Left, first row, seat 3.
The Joyce is a great, fairly intimate theater.They were efficient with checking vaccination status and ID by having multiple people do that outside the theater and a separate group take tickets inside.I saw a great performance of US indigenous American dance.
First time at this theater and I was pleasantly surprised. The show was phenomenal and the seats were perfect. I will be returning.
No matter Orchestra Seats or the Seating at the end of the Auditorium every seat is a good seat at the Joyce. This is the perfect place to view dance in America.Easily accessible to E or A train and all Chelsea busses.Always great places to eat after performances.The Joyce staff is always cheerful and happy to help you get seated and Enjoy the shows.Full bar downstairs and light refreshments.If you are waiting for someone who is performing the green room gives you closed circuit live viewing of the stage outside the dressing rooms.Special seating, wheelchair and hearing impaired devices are also available.Evening shows usually begin at 8 p.m.. Matinee on Saturday depend on the performance.
A friend turned me on to the many great performances here and it hasnt disappointed! Staff are nice and go through proper covid protocols before one is able to access the theater. Not outrageous in price and you get to be in a more intimate space. And its right next to a nice restaurant/bar so your evening is easy to plan 😀
Nice venue- we watched a ballet which was an amazing show.
I saw the Garth Fagan company from a partial view seat, and you know what? It was AMAZING. You cant see peoples feet from the first row, but you do see every breath, every facial expression, every drop of sweat that flies off the incredible dancers. If you like seeing human beings do incredible feats of artistry with their bodies, come to this theater.
The Joyce is my favorite theater for dance in New York. Its a small, intimate theater that has some of the biggest names in modern dance troupes in the country. Their friends of the Joyce memberships offer a full dance experience with receptions with dance troupes, access to rehearsals and many other perks. Their ticket prices are reasonable which makes dance accessible to everyone. Its a gem in Chelsea.
We came to see the Trocks and the Theater never explained that family matinee means a program change until after the program changed. The box office gave us Managements email who then heard our issues and apologized. I might bump this up to five stars if next time goes better and it was just a rough day. Thanks, Joyce Theater.
Beautiful space, great staff. Every seat has an excellent view. Quality of dance companies is amazing. Most recent concerts were Ballet Hispanico and Complexions.
A beautiful more contemporary theater. Their updated sound system is much more immersive and its a good size for getting lost in a show.
AMAZING performance space! No bad seats! Always a wonderful show.
I scrambled down to the Joyce theater to catch some great inexpensive performances.
The Joyce Theater was actually very nice. A Theater we will definitely return to.
One of the only venues in NYC that presents just dance. Great sight lines. There is no bad seat.....except maybe the first 2 rows, but thats why those seats are $10 and $20. Cant go wrong with that price.
Always a joy to see wonderful dance shows at the Joyce.
Centrally located in Chelsea and easily accessible. Ive been here many times for great performances.
We like this place a lot. Its small and intimate so you are relatively quite close to the stage and dont have any bad vantage points. Also, they have some really great acts come to perform there on a regular basis. The bar/concession downstairs offers a good variety of things. And the people working there are generally friendly and efficient.That said I find the separating space between rows to be too small. I have been to a great many theater spaces around NYC, and this is definitely a common theme among most of them. So its in keeping with them. However, at 510 Im only slightly higher than average height for a guy. And at the Joyce unless Im sitting perfectly straight back in my chair my knees cannot help but gently push on the seat back in front of me...serving as a constant reminder throughout the performance. Its not generally this tight elsewhere.But overall kudos to The Joyce!

***** WARNING TO AUDIENCE MEMBERS *****The show was wonderful until I left halfway through. The Joyce has clearly lost interest in even attempting to ask the 5 percent of the audience with their noses outside of their masks during a pandemic to comply with health and safety protocols, which included the people on both sides of me. Meanwhile, ushers stand around uselessly during intermission.What a sad, sad, failure by The Joyce.
EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE!!!! KUDOS to the entire Cast & Crew!!!! Front House to the Back, Artistic Director, Production and Everyone Involved & Including Patrons for keeping Theater & Dance Alive and Well!! THANK YOU!!
Great theatre for dance! They have really affordable tickets (starting at $10) for most, if not all their shows, and theres really not a bad seat in the house. Even the partial view front row seats arent really partial view if youre taller than 57. The dance companies that come through here are world class.
Love it so nice and clean and the view in any chair is spectacular
Ronald K. Browns Evidence was Spectacular! Love, love his work and the dancers were Amazing! The Joyce is a great theater to see dance, drama, artistic expression. Its an intimate feel and to me every seat is a great seat. I especially enjoy 2nd floor 1st row balcony seating...the absolute best view. Staff are nice and I love the vibe.
Beautiful theatre! Appears to have been recently renovated. There is not a bad seat in the house, and such comfortable seats, too! We attended the C performance of Complexions Contemporary Ballet. Fabulous performance. So enjoyed both pieces in this show. A wonderful afternoon.
1st time attending a live performance there. It was excellent! The staff was very nice and helpful also courteous to all the senior citizens who may need assistance. Its an old renovated movie theater. Im not sure if they had an elevator to access the balcony, we walked up a short flight of stairs.Seating there are on custioned woodenchairs which was ok.Acoustics and lighting are great. Most importantly the shows are very affordable. Enjoy!
Management was condescending, taking every opportunity to talk down to people
Really nice theater, small, close to the artists. Confortable I recommend it. Really nice show
My chill out spot.
Loved the Dorrance group and their tap dancing show. The first part was more enjoyable I think because the stage had no more than eight performers so you could watch the footwork. And they they had this melody/dance between the musicians and the dancers. Memorable. The second half was a rendition of the Nutcracker and there were just too many dancers on the stage so I kept falling asleep it was confusing. So I nearly.missed some fabulous costumes of vegetables and flowers!
An amazing dance venue. An intimate space, allowing you to see the performers facial expressions as well as their footwork. We have not had a bad seat, and do not think there is one. Thank you to everyone at The Joyce.
Its a great venue for dance. There are almost no bad seats. Its also nice that they let you inside prior to opening up seating. (so if you arrive a little early you dont have to wait in the rain or cold)
Portable ramp on very accessible public street. Push pad auto door entrance into elevated building with eaccessible restrooms available
Ive been coming to this theater for over two decades and I always have the most pleasant surprise with the array of dance performances in its programming. I wouldnt hesitate to say that the Joyce Theater is a unique performance space not only because of the eclectic high quality performances but also because of its design. Regardless of where you sit, your view will be accurate and unobstructed without parallel.
A really great dance venue-- we sat in the side balconies and had a great view. This place feels nicer and better-kept than many of the performance venues of its size in the city. Id happily come back to see a show here anytime.
I arrived late, so I had to stand during the performance (my fault, of course), so I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to see the stage so perfectly from the standing room area.Im convinced that there are no bad spots from which to see the stage.The staff is so nice, by the way.
One of the best dance theaters around. The independent companies that perform there are amazing and no seat is bad. You can often meet the dancers at the end of the show on the lower level, take selfies, or just chat
Great venue for dance with good sight lines from every seat. Caught Dorrance Dance holiday Program A. Still showing why she won a MacArthur Genius award for original tap works. High energy and great skill.
Theater experience was great. There are no waiting areas outside the sitting room inside. Long day. Extremely tired but still went to the show. Got there bought a tea literally no place to seat and wait. Set on the steps a security guard made me stand. Almost left the theater... Whatever you are going to watch there dont show up earlier!!!!
First time at The Joyce this evening and I got to see Michelle Dorrance and her company. The stage floor was very well miced. The theater itself is rather small, but that is what makes it so great; no matter where you are seated, it feels like an intimate experience. Would absolutely go to The Joyce again
Very unfriendly to patrons. I made an honest mistake about the dates of a show. I purchased tickets for the wrong date. Upon realizing my error, I rushed back the next day to change the tickets and I was charged $5 change fee for each ticket. Great! $5 per ticket for what? Well, I will never patronize them again. Slapping such fees on patrons discourages people from returning. Not all patrons are super rich. Some of us live paycheck to paycheck.
You need to buy a sippy cup in order to bring your drinks upstairs.Dont bother getting a beer if you plan on bringing it in to the theater...You will pay for a whole bottle and only get about 75% of it poured into the sippy cup that you need to pay for on top of the drink.Bad deal... Thats why 4 stars.Wanted to give three, but everything else wasnt too bad, and I got a cocktail, while my friend was stuck sipping on 75% of a beer he paid for. LolThe Loge seats are probably the best seats in the theater.Theyre also the cheapest. You want to sit towards the back of the house, the closer to the stage the harder it is to see the full stage.Otherwise its clean, okay service, and amazing performances.Just avoid the 75% issue with beers and you have nothing else to be disappointed about.Enjoy!
Dorrance Dance was excellent! Almost all seats at Joyce are fine for viewing. As with most NY theaters space between rows is in adequate unless you are short. Medium size venue works well for performances.
Saw a ballet performance here. I had never been here before, (and frankly didnt know it existed) but I was very impressed with the venue. Good size, very good sight lines, comfortable seats. I will be on the lookout for future offerings.
The Joyce is a small intimate theater in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. It features modern dance companies from the US & around the world. I saw the Aspen Sante Fe Ballet Co. perform yesterday & they were outstanding. There is a small cafe downstairs that serves coffee, wine, desserts, etc. They have family matinees for some of the dance companies, which is a very nice way of introducing young children to the world of dance.
This theater should be permanently on your list of places to go to. Dance performances venue. Majority of NYC dance companies and others perform their works there. See Complexions, Momix, Trockadero, and others. Students get discount and dance students get some kind of work study offers, talk to front desk. Inexpensive and high value. Staff are very polite and professional. Best experience I have had.
Great little theater with excellent staging and lighting and acoustics. Womens restroom accommodates many! The lower lounge lacked air conditioning and was very uncomfortable.
Great dance venue in NYC. A few bad sight line seats, but not a deal breaker. Enjoy this rare gem of a theater for everything from modern dance companies & classical ballet to more experimental dance artists.
I adore this theater. So happy that I have been able to expose my teens to great dance. They love it too! Helps that my moms name was Joyce so I feel a connection with her each time we visit! T-shirts all around!
Went to see Savion Glover and his awesome dancers. I had a great time with my honey. Mr. Glover and his troop were so down to earth. Talked with them and they all signed my shirt. Best experience ever.
Went to see INK and it was great. So many different aspects of todays world mixed into a dance with music. I saw myself and my struggle in the movements of the dancers. In todays world men and women move the same and listen to the same beat. Everybody should get a chance to watch this show.
The Joyce Theatre is New York Citys preeminent dance venue. With a great location Chelsea , good seats, big stage with good views. The Joyce is surrounded by really nice restaurants allowing for a quick bite before or after a performance..
Visited today to see a performance by Che Malambo an Argentinian Dance Company. I was totally blown away by the performance it was nothing short of amazing.The theatre is very cozy seating is spacious and the staff is very personable.
I’ve seen two productions here, both of them absolutely incredible. Comfortable seats with actual foot room and great service. Bar is not insanely over priced, about the same as any bar around the area which I appreciate.
I attended the performance of the Hong Kong Ballet, which was modern and beautiful, with some small whimsical and touching details. The space is a warm accommodating theatre, with elegant architecture and accessibility. Audience members were wonderfully polite, before, during, and after the performance.
The performance was excellent and the Theatre waa COVID friendly!!
Lovely, small theatre that props up the modern dance. The chelsea location will be sorely missed when they relocate downtown. Along with the City Center, some of the most comfortable seating in a performing arts venue.
Dont have much experience seeing live performances in theaters like this (I saw D-Man in the Waters - was fantastic), but loved the space. Small, stadium style seating so every seat has a clear view of the stage. Orchestra had a small space stage-right and the sound was wondrful.
RONALD K BROWN EVIDENCE at The JOYCE Theater...IS MUST SEE, LISTEN and FEEL Dance Performance!Beautiful People,Last week I went to The JOYCE Theater to witness a performance of the RONALD K BROWN EVIDENCE Dance Company. The JOYCE Staff was warm and welcoming.Instead of merely witnessing, we went on a journey of healing and hope. The storytelling, the music, the costumes, and lighting set the stage for us to receive the energy of the magnificent dancers.Blending African dance with contemporary choreography filled with ying and yang energetic and technically challenging movement and dancers with personalities; those of us in the audience were invited to experience a range of emotions.We laughed and cried through HIGHLIFE. We identified and felt moved by MERCY. We embraced Divine Love through GRACE.And having journeyed for 2 hours with these exquisite dancers while reflecting on our own personal stories, (our conflicts and hardships, our joys, our struggles, our hopes and dreams)...At the end of the Finale of GRACE, We All Rose, and Clapped with Full Hearts.Then Artistic Director, Ronald K. Brown joined the dancers on stage. And Again They Danced and We the Audience Were Inspired to Dance In Gratitude!BRAVO! BRAVO TO ALL INVOLVED IN CREATING A MAGICAL, MEANIFUL, MEMORABLE EVENING at The JOYCE !Live & Love...Always, Melony 💚aka Miss Mellie Rainbow 🎊#BlackDance#RONALDKBROWNEVIDENCE#RonaldKAlexanderDanceLegend#TheJOYCETheatre#MelonyMcGantAuthor#Courage #Healing #Hope#TellingOurStories
My favorite theater in NYC. Consistently hosts the best dance companies in the world from the well known to the up and coming new and emerging talent. Not a bad seat in the house either.
Its a very small, intimate dance performance space where companies generally from outside the city perform on tour. I find for contemporary works, this sort of performance space is ideal, particularly for smaller companies. Its definitely not a venue on the scale of NY State or the Met, but it generally works for the sort of work that is performed here.
I saw Camille A. Brown & Dancers perform. The performance was electrifying, insightful and amazing. Camilles choreography for Mr. TOL E. RAnce is progressive and thought provoking and woke. Her dance encourages us, the audience to ask questions about stereotypes in the past, present and future. Where do we see ourselves going as a people? We Wear The Mask... the poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar.
I saw a great show in Joyce. It is a small theater so you can see very good from all over. It was worth it.And for some shows you can call and you get supe price. We were in the front row though, but even you miss some foot, the expresión and the energy its totally worth it
Saw Pilobolus. As usual they were very good. Some of the dancers were amazing. Most of the choreography was excellent although one piece seemed confusing. Pilobolus use of short videos as interludes between dances is interesting but some are better than others.
No matter where you sit you have a good view of the stage. Ive seen some really fun and entertaining shows here, including Jim Parsons and Thwyla Tharpe. The theater is small so youre pretty much always going to be close to the stage.
Ive been coming here since 1984. Not really a bad seat in the house. The staff is generally professional and helpful. An amazing range of dance performances.
So many interesting, inventive dance companies that come through the Joyce. Love the art deco exterior. Come here to see Martha Grahams company, or the latest new thing from Brazil or Africa. Prices are also really, really reasonable. You wont be disappointed -- small, intimate theater ensures a memorable experience.
This was a stunning Surprise, like finding a JEWEL in the middle of THE COSMOS Great Acoustics, Seating so comfortable no ones views were blocked by anyone else,Impeccable cleanliness. INGRESS &EGRESS well corordinated by ushers and security as to safety! It is a Beautiful experience in every way!
The premiere performance space dedicated to dance in NYC. Dance companies from all over the world come here to present their work. The sightlines are terrific from everywhere in the house. And the snacks and coffee available at the bar are delicious.
Classic venue with great international dance performances.
The best venue to both work in and see dance in the City
Awesome theater. Not a bad seat in the house. Amazing dance performances for a community that loves dance on all its forms. A truly special place.
I got sodprice.Tickets for the flamenco show,I think are expensive
A venue devoted to dance with many extraordinary performances. But on this brutally frigid day, it was stifling inside. Audience members were fanning themselves with programs. Wear layers if you go.
Love The Joyce! As a member I get all good benefits and staff is very helpful. The prices are great...all you have to do is purchase 4 tix and you get 25% discount for one season.You can buy extra tix and still get the discount at any time. You can exchange your tix forr a future show if you cant make the event that you originally chose. I dont work for the Joyce. I just find my experiences there to be outstanding...and the dancing is pretty good too!!!!!
Love Trocadero Ballet of Monte Carlo! Always fun to watch their performances!!!
Modern theater. Didnt feel sqwished. Every seat has a good view. Most performances are modern or avant garde. Located in the trendy Chelsea neighborhood.
No bad seats in the theater. Always great dance performances, usually switching quite often. Large stage too, so it is all quite nice and topnotch
Best venue for dance performances.
Intimate, well-designed and well-maintained theater. We recently saw Ib Andersons Play performed by Ballet Arizona here and sat in the $10 first row seats (available by advance phone order), which allowed us a surprisingly decent view (except for the brief moments when the dancers laid flat on the stage).
Any seat is a great seat! Came here to see Batsheva and it was beautiful. Lots of good food nearby if you want a quick bite before the show
Wonderful theater. Friendly and helpful staff. Great show. Convenient and safe location; accessible by public transportation and plenty of spots to have a meal and/or drinks and appetizers.
Amazing acoustics, great seating distribution.Lovely place.
I went to see a show called Le Ballet Trokadero de Monte Carlo I almost peed my panty because I was laughing and laughing. It was so funny, an all male troupe.The place itself, was mediocre at best... I am almost 2 meters tall, which made my sitting arrangement a bit tight. As in most New York theatres, they do not have real Foyer, therefore u have to drink your coffee at the Starbucks right across the street.
This is a great little theater in Chelsea that specializes in dance performances...the place looks great, its very clean and well-run, and the dance troupes that perform there are world-class...it only seats 472 and theres not a bad seat in the house...its easy to get to via public transportation and the neighborhood is full of interesting places to get a meal or have a drink...highly recommended!
It marvelous, intimate venue for dance performances by variety of New York, US, and international performers. Their motto, Get closer to dance, is truly apt, there are no bad seats.
The best dance theater ever. Joyce is the only place that you can see many kind of dances, performance from difference companies and from all over the U.S and the world.
Great show, covid19 procedures are good
Beautiful show and theater. One if the ushers were kind of rude.
Marvelous place and terrific performances
Every seat is good and you can see the performers.
Needs sprucing up. Only one accessible bathroom upstairs with long lines. No way for handicapped to go downstairs for snacks, drinks or souvenirs. Springs in seat coming through seat.Needs a total makeover.
Comfortable seating, friendly staff, clean & fresh facilities! Ive seen several shows here and Im never disappointed!
Ronald Brown Dance Company is excellent. I loved the dancers and the choreography. I took off one star because the seating is tight for taller people.
Always great to see a dance performance at the Joyce. Its a comfortable space with a wonderful company and world class guests.
Powerful, intense, amazing dance. An incredible variety of companies and styles. A gem. And great eats nearby. Or the High Line. Or the Rubin. Its downtown Manhattan, what can you say.
Perfect size to view a show seating is comfortable and the shows are fantastic always. Saw the tap dancer adyelev casel fabulous
In all of the theaters that Ive attended, The Joyce is unique in that it is intimate, the front-of-house staff is personable, and not only is equity and inclusion stated with a mission, it is also acted upon in collaboration with artists, students, and the community.An artistic institution, and more specifically, a dance presenter, such as The Joyce, is needed in the NYC community to be a model for all generations who support the arts. From presenting Dada Masilos Swan Lake last year to presenting Hawaiian company, Hālau O Kekuhi next season, The Joyce not only states diversity in its mission, it shows action in its stylistically and racially diverse company offerings and its artistic and scholastic support opportunities. The School and Family programs department, to my knowledge and from the Times, supports youth from all socioeconomic backgrounds, and recently, had a collaboration with Parsons Dance and the Theatre Development Fund to be the first dance theater to present accessibility programming in New York City. The community outreach throughout Chelsea/Meatpacking District is definitely a first for an artistic institution in the neighborhood. Just want to give kudos to them for their staffs hard and humble work. This is AMAZING!Upon attending The Joyces offerings and seeing them progress, they have caught my attention as more than just a dance presenter, but rather a model for positive change in the arts community and for fellow students like myself. I give 5 stars for now, and infinitely more for the future! Cheers to The Joyce!
Great experience watching contemporary ballet. Had limited view of dancers feet in 2nd row. Overall good value considering price.
Great theatre for modern dance. Been seeing some of the best performances here for over 35 years.
Love the place. Its great to see dance performances here. Im coming to the theatre about 8 times per year for mana many years.
A modern art dance theater. Some of the performances could be rather quirky, but it is an interesting show venue, and worth a visit at least once to get an opinion about the modern dance.
The Joyce is always fabulous! Love the performances, atmosphere, even the audience is great. It has a great neighborhood feel.
Lovely theater for dance. They curate a lot of great shows. Nearly every seat is a good seat.
Wonderful night and wonderful performances! The Hip-hop act was a great one. Ugh... Such talent 🤦🏽♂️
One of my favorite dance theater venues. Expansively curated and uniquely affordable. Not a bad seat in the house.
Went to see the LIMON DANCE COLPANY. It was amazing, I really enjoyed it. It is a very good theater located in a wonderful neirboorhood. Very convenience and close to plenty of public transportation.
Beautiful theater and Excellent staff! During intermission we got snacks and wine, the whole experience was worth while.
They offer first row $10 tickets for any show. Great for your dance students.
Amazing dancers in the show Complexion! Theater was great with well priced snacks. Highly recommend :)
Watching Batsheva Young Ensemble from Israel performs
Always a treat, highly covid protective,seats comfortable.
Tonites program was fantastic: Ayodele Casel and Arturo OFarrell. Unfortunately, theres only one single bathroom on the street floor.
Tickets start at $10! That’s cheaper than a movie or a cocktail! Take in a wonderful dance performance – their productions appeal to the newbie and the aficionado alike.
Their dance shows are superb. The companies that come in and showcase their work at the theater and just fantastic!
A great venue, they always have the best dance in NYC. Its very accessible and surprisingly affordable.
Love this place. Different dance companies almost every week, some truly great. Every seat in the house is a good one.
Always a pleasure to see any dance performance at the Joyce! A cozy atmosphere for world class artists.
Its a small theatre but I always get great seats. The shows are awesome too!
Support independent arts and culture.
I like thus theatre it is comfortable, good view from any seat, affordable pro es and great spectacles, like Momix!
Always love the Joyce theater. Most performances are fabulous and even the mediocre ones are creative and an enlightening experience.
Great stage and house. Excellent crew and administration. NYCs premier venue for dance.
We got a new job to do on Monday there a place I just look it up the Joyce theater u know what that mean u got more hooks than game keep it up I will give u another job we got to tell Lloyd banks about after all he part of the campane too

Small theatre. All seats viewable. Dancers is close for full immersion.
I love this theatre, the programing is always surprise, renovation, vanguard, very actual andLeading in the dance world.
Cute theater, easy to get last minute tickets but they werent together for some reason. May go back to try again, but not sure.
Great place for ballet!! Every seat is good and some are only ten dollars.
Almost always fabulous and innovative performances. Small waiting area which was a problem when cold or raining, otherwise great
Best beads in town. Better than my sister. Pleasantly surprised. 8/10 would recommend. Refrigerator.
Ive been to many performances here. Its a wonderful organization with lots of interesting rotating shows on offer.
Great show and seating is surprisingly comfortable and well laid out
A great Theater for various dance company.They have very low price tickets to begin with.
It was clean and nice people as greeters. Restrooms on basement floor, is the only bad thing. Restroom clean and no smell for mens.
Great venue for all forms of dance, from ballet to modern to the Ballet Trocadero de Monte Carlo.
We saw an outstanding tap dancing performance. Tremendous energy! The house was rocking.
One of the best spots for dance in the city. Really not a bad seat in the house.
Always enjoyed the performances here. Been here twice to see my good friend perform with Philadanco! Love it
Very high quality dance performance every time we visit.
The Joyce is the best theatre to see Dance. There’s not a bad seat in the house
Great little cosy theater. Highly recommended, top quality performances and affordable.
They always offer great dance groups. Never a disappointed performance.
The Joyce is an essential NYC theater for anyone who enjoys performing arts / dance
Wonderful ballet. Cute little coffee bar inside. Friendly and helpful volunteer staff
We went to see a show. It was great. The only issue not enough womens bathroom.
Love seeing shows here! And they give cheap tickets in the first 3 rows!
From the neon sign outside, to the great performance inside - I like Joyce Theater a lot!P.S. you can get a
While enjoying whatever show you went there to watch they have a bar that sells some good beer and other drinks.
Amazing performances for modern dance fans
Beautiful theater staff awesome seating amazing all around a wonderful experience.
Very pleasant experience.
I love the Joyce theatre. So intimate and perfect for watching any dance company.
Amazing dance theatre where one can see some of the best smaller companies from around the world.
Small theater so any seat will give you a good view.
Very wonderful experience of beautiful dance
Love this place! Great performance and lovely theater! With reasonable prices!
Awesome venue, with amazing shows. Highly recommended.
Medium-sized theater with only good seats. I recommend it.
Good shows you wont find at the bigger places. Every seat is a good seat.
A very intimate and comfortable small theater with great shows and affordable ticket prices.
Saw Australian ballet there, Aurum was fantastic....unfortunately the other two pieces were very disappointing.
Seats are a little too close tonight but other than that I liked it.
Intimate theater experience. All seats have great views.
Seats in the balcony provide an excellent view of the stage.
For me it was like any other theater! But the movie was good.
Love this theater. Good view from anywhere you sit.
One of my favorite venues. The action takes you right in on the front rows.
The space + its administrative management are great, however check reviews of the specific show thats on because quality varies.
Awesome place watched an awesome dance play. Theater is well kept
Great venue. Felt intimate. Good show too...
I couldnt live without it, and fortunately this seasons program went back to extremely attractive.
Fun, but I dont like dance much, so not right for me. Really nice for others
Savion always gives a wonderful performance... and in this space the intimacy makes it resonate.
Great seating and they bring in the best shows.
The Parsons dancers are phenomenal! Such a fantastic performance!
The theatre was pretty nice. I came to watch Che Malambo.
Wonderful performances. Fairly priced for Dance concerts
Last minute seats with partial view and I still loved the show!
Great venue for dance. Great selection of save companies. Reasonable prices

2022-05-29Dance performance in NYC? You cant pass Joyce. The theater is intimate with good view wherever you sit. I like particularly its interior design. Check the program when you are in town.For the moment, vaccine certificate with ID is required in addition to mask inside.

2022-06-21I love this theater and have been going regularly since 2007. It’s cute and there’s not a bad seat in the house. It’s a safe bet any time you go that the production on stage will be high quality.

2022-07-30An excellent hall for live performances. Please educate the seating staff NOT TO TOUCH guests. An usher (white curls w blue patch in hair) poked my arm hard enough to knock it off the rest to see my row (H) and rather than apologize she explained ‘I needed to see the row’. WRONG. Do not ever touch us. Have a nice day!

2022-07-18This is my first time after COVID. All broadway shows are “mask optional” but at the Joyce you have to show proof of vaccine + id + mandatory mask. I used to go often but now will only go to see very important shows to me. Disappointed in their rules.

2022-08-19Sarasota ballet was extraordinary. Have been attending the Joyce since they opened probably 30 years ago. Good viewing and some wonderful performances.

2022-08-25The Joyce is always a joy. The four rather than five stars is because Im a big guy, hefty and tall, and I have to be very careful about choosing seats... Ive blitzed other venues on Bway because theyve jammed seats in everywhere so that way hing a show is more like travelling ultra economy on a third rate airline than watching a Bway show. One fears for ones blood circulation... So the Joyce is doing fine....The shows are consistently interesting, if not always to ones taste, which is to be expected.As long as Im in New York, and as long as they dont jam more seats in, Im a reliable patron.

2022-04-08Great intament experience the only issue is the seats are very tight and Im a small guy 175lbs. Other than that the lighting and sound and show was on point not a bad view in the house.
