The Joyce Theater Foundation, Inc. Reviews

Love this place. Different dance companies almost every week, some truly great. Every seat in the house is a good one.

I like thus theatre it is comfortable, good view from any seat, affordable pro es and great spectacles, like Momix!

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

When I am interested in something new and/or eclectic, I visit the Joyce. Love it.

Went there to see betsheva young assemble, excellent! Sound is great

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 don't 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.

We saw an outstanding tap dancing performance. Tremendous energy! The house was rocking.

Malpaso Dance Company was exhilarating and the Q and A afterwards was uplifting!

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.

old school theater but location is great and guests who are performing there a really good! look at theater schedule and go check it out

Tickets are reasonably priced, every seat in the house is good

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.

Charming venue to see the mezmering Momix dance company.

First time at this theater and I was pleasantly surprised. The show was phenomenal and the seats were perfect. I will be returning.

Very high quality dance performance every time we visit.

Love the place. It's great to see dance performances here. I'm coming to the theatre about 8 times per year for mana many years.

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.

I saw Camille A. Brown & Dancers perform. The performance was electrifying, insightful and amazing. Camille's 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.

Great theatre for dance! They have really affordable tickets (starting at $10) for most, if not all their shows, and there's really not a bad seat in the house. Even the partial view front row seats aren't really partial view if you're taller than 5'7". The dance companies that come through here are world class.

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. <3

I saw the Garth Fagan company from a "partial view" seat, and you know what? It was AMAZING. You can't see people's 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.

New York's premiere Dance Venue. Comfortable seats, great staff, large flexible venue.

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.

Seats are a little too close tonight but other than that I liked it.

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!

this is a great little theater in Chelsea that specializes in dance performances...the place looks great, it's very clean and well-run, and the dance troupes that perform there are world-class...it only seats 472 and there's not a bad seat in the house...it's 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!

The Joyce Theatre is New York City's 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..

Great theater for dance with excellent programming!

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. It's 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 wooden
chairs which was ok.
Acoustics and lighting are great. Most importantly the shows are very affordable. Enjoy!

Ronald K. Brown's Evidence was Spectacular! Love, love his work and the dancers were Amazing! The Joyce is a great theater to see dance, drama, artistic expression. It's 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.

Great performances with a no fuss atmosphere. Love it.

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.

It's a great venue for dance. There are almost no bad seats. It's also nice that they let you inside prior to opening up seating. (so if you arrive a little early you don't have to wait in the rain or cold)

A must visit theatre if you like and enjoy dance and dancing.

Their dance shows are superb. The companies that come in and showcase their work at the theater and just fantastic!

Yeah baby! This is poppin like the internet on Y2K!

Awesome venue, with amazing shows. Highly recommended.

TOP PERFORMANCE!!
TOP THEATER!!

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.

Amazing dancers in the show Complexion! Theater was great with well priced snacks. Highly recommend :)

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.

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.

The staff and the crew at the Joyce treated us very well.

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.

I love the different dance troops from other countries!!!

The theatre was pretty nice. I came to watch Che Malambo.

I couldn't live without it, and fortunately this season's program went back to extremely attractive.

RONALD K BROWN EVIDENCE at The JOYCE Theater...IS MUST SEE, LISTEN and FEEL Dance Performance!

Beautiful People,





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.





At the end of the Finale of GRACE, We All Rose, and Clapped with Full Hearts.




Live & Love...

Always, Melony

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.

Noche Flamenco was a spirted and energetic performance

Always love the Joyce theater. Most performances are fabulous and even the mediocre ones are creative and an enlightening experience.

Great theatre for modern dance. Been seeing some of the best performances here for over 35 years.

A great Theater for various dance company.They have very low price tickets to begin with.

Small theatre. All seats viewable. Dancers is close for full immersion.

The best venue for dance performance in the city. It's intimate and with good view of the dancer's subtle movements on the stage. The ticket price is also very reasonable when compared to other venues. Strongly recommend it to any dance lovers.

Watching Batsheva Young Ensemble from Israel performs

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. I'd happily come back to see a show here anytime.

Awesome place watched an awesome dance play. Theater is well kept

The little prince of the Philadelphia dance troupe is highly recommended.

Great place for ballet!! Every seat is good and some are only ten dollars.
