- The Corcoran GroupJanuary 23, 2012Tickets 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.

Peter FrankOctober 3, 2011I only come here every few years, usually when my mom is in town. And every time I'm reminded what a treasure it is. Always interesting performers, no bad seats in the house, and gentle ticket prices. Read moreUpvoted 3 weeks ago
DJ JensenAugust 27, 2016If you choose seats in the back of the theater, choose the ones that are where the raking starts, like row J and back. Easier to see.- Kathryn ChengMay 22, 2013Must go see the Hubbard Chicago dance company - brilliant! I am not a modern dance connoisseur but it was captivating! The theatre is small enough that the cheaper seats are balcony views!
AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014Take a risk. See something beautiful or slightly scary in a small, intimate little theater. You're so close you can hear the dancers breathing. Read more
eric bornemannDecember 2, 2020The premier place to see established dance companies from around the world in NYC. Really not a bad seat in the house.
ed rJuly 10, 2012So thrilled to see Smuin Ballet is returning to The Joyce...it's been several years and the company is fabulous! Don't miss the opportunity to see them August 13-18. Buy tickets at Joyce.org.
Grace LadyecuaApril 20, 2023Nice theatre. The rows go upward so everyone can see the stage no matter where you're sitting.
Love the Joyce! Local theater with bigger than local performances. Not a budget breaker like Broadway.
Amazing theatre for dance. You can always get decently priced tickets for astounding performances!
Boon YapOctober 21, 2012If you pop by close to start of show, discounted tix are usually available - house seats, with marvellous location. Enjoy! :-)
The Joyce is a fabulous venue for the full spectrum of dance. Never disappointing.
Best seats are $35 loge. Unless you symmetry is important to you, you are so close to dancers, you can hear their breathes
Brian McFaddenJanuary 25, 2016I think most of the seats have a good view. Mine was comfortable. Shows with live bands are great.
CompassJuly 23, 2013Joyce Theater has been home to some of the city’s most avant-garde dance performances since 1982.
- Tina TangAugust 20, 2011This is my favorite NYC dance theater as it's intimate with not a bad seat in the house.
RazorfishSeptember 20, 2011Theater for dance performances in a beautiful, intimate space—with clues of being an old theater.
Jaki LevyApril 24, 2011Pilobolus is a perennial favorite. But also check out DanceBrazil when they're here.
DarrenAugust 3, 2012Can't wait for the Smuin Ballet's performances to open on August 13th!! It's been too long since they've been here! Check them out! http://smuinballet.org/smuin-at-the-joyce-theater/
Justin KeatsNovember 29, 2012Buy tickets over the phone or at the theater to avoid the $6 handling fee.
See Complexions! Only 1 act so far but already worth the price of admission!!- For a drink after the show you can usually find the stagehands at flight 151 just south on 8th ave.
- Edris NichollsNovember 18, 2011Desmond Richardson Artistic Director.......He's an amazing dancer/ choreographer
Do not buy a ticket for Loge seat 317. It is an unbelievable rip off--$75 and it is partial view, tucked inside a railing, with literally no place for my legs. They do not advertise this!

"the absolutely BEST paella in NYC. Crispy bottom layer and superb taste. Good wine selection."
chris O - 8.3
"Salted caramel, any of the berry-flavors, cheesecake and peanut butter are my go-to’s. Be sure to sample though as often times the machines aren’t working and the yogurt comes out liquidy or too icy."
