Family Matinees

Attending live dance performances can be habit-forming, so we recommend starting young by inviting children to the adult table. That's why The Joyce created this series -- family-oriented performances followed by a special opportunity to meet the artists.

Tickets are $10 for kids, and if they see at least two of the three family matinees, they automatically become Joyce Junior Members and save 40% on the price of their tickets -- $10 reduced to $6. Kids (ages 6-14) must be accompanied by an adult.

Choreographers Nicholas Leichter and Bryan Strimpel share excerpts from their new dance Twenty, a work exploring how two different dancers can come together in perfect sync. This is a dance and music feast for the whole family, performed to music by Laura Nyro, Patti Labelle, Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash and to classic club beats-- lush, powerful, brave, vulnerable, and alive--with the audience getting to join the fun on stage!
