THE BEST PLACE FOR BALLET, DANCE AND MORE!! TALENT & GIFTS IN A GREAT PACKAGE! !

One of my favorite dance theater venues. Expansively curated and uniquely affordable. Not a bad seat in the house.

Small, but intimate theatre; great view of the stage

First time at The Joyce this evening and I got to see Michelle Dorrance and her company. The stage floor was very well mic'ed. 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

Great venue for all forms of dance, from ballet to modern to the Ballet Trocadero de Monte Carlo.

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.

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.
I'm 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

Excellent optimization for alternative entertainment in NYC. ballet was specially good.

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.

Always enjoyed the performances here. Been here twice to see my good friend perform with Philadanco! Love it

Great little cosy theater. Highly recommended, top quality performances and affordable.

Lovely theater for dance. They curate a lot of great shows. Nearly every seat is a good seat.

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.

I love this theatre, the programing is always surprise, renovation, vanguard, very actual and
Leading in the dance world.

A forever rejuvenating American Dance Theater. Go, see, awesome!

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.

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 Management's 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.

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 mom's name was Joyce so I feel a connection with her each time we visit! T-shirts all around!

For me it was like any other theater! But the movie was good.

It was clean and nice people as greeters. Restrooms on basement floor, is the only bad thing. Restroom clean and no smell for men's.

I love dance! The show and experience were EXCELLENT!!

They always offer great dance groups. Never a disappointed performance.

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

Great performances with excellent views of the stage

Intimate, well-designed and well-maintained theater. We recently saw Ib Anderson's "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).

we saw a ballet performance here. I had never been here before, (and frankly didn't 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.

Tonite's program was fantastic: Ayodele Casel and Arturo O'Farrell. Unfortunately, there's only one single bathroom on the street floor.

The space + its administrative management are great, however check reviews of the specific show that's on because quality varies.

The Joyce is a Joy... Wonderful dance in a gem of a venue

Wonderful night and wonderful performances! The Hip-hop act was a great one. Ugh... Such talent

This was a stunning Surprise, like finding a JEWEL in the middle of THE " COSMOS " Great Acoustics, Seating so comfortable no one's 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!

It's a small theatre but I always get great seats. The shows are awesome too!

Small theater so any seat will give you a good view.

We've 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.

Medium-sized theater with only good seats. I recommend it.

Classic venue with great international dance performances.

A very intimate and comfortable small theater with great shows and affordable ticket prices.

Always a pleasure to see any dance performance at the Joyce! A cozy atmosphere for world class artists.

Saw Australian ballet there, Aurum was fantastic....unfortunately the other two pieces were very disappointing.

Amazing dance theatre where one can see some of the best smaller companies from around the world.

Love this theater. Good view from anywhere you sit.

Love this place! Great performance and lovely theater! With reasonable prices!

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.

Pilobolus was exquisite as usual. And a very warm public.

Great little theater with excellent staging and lighting and acoustics. Women's restroom accommodates many! The lower lounge lacked air conditioning and was very uncomfortable.

Good shows you won't find at the bigger places. Every seat is a good seat.

Went to see Philadanco. Awesome show and awesome company!

A great venue, they always have the best dance in NYC. It's very accessible and surprisingly affordable.

Intimate theater experience. All seats have great views.

Best beads in town. Better than my sister. Pleasantly surprised. 8/10 would recommend. Refrigerator.

From the neon sign outside, to the great performance inside - I like Joyce Theater a lot!
P.S. you can get a

Nice performance. Nice intimate theater with good seating.

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.

In all of the theaters that I've 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 Masilo's Swan Lake last year to presenting Hawaiian company, H lau 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 staff's hard and humble work. This is AMAZING!

Upon attending The Joyce's 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!

Seats in the balcony provide an excellent view of the stage.

A beautiful more contemporary theater. Their updated sound system is much more immersive and it's a good size for getting lost in a show.
