Family Programs
Family Matinees
The Joyce invites young audiences (ages 5 to 15) and their grown-ups to experience renowned companies together and to enjoy a special opportunity to meet the artists following the performances. Kids' tickets are only $10. All children must be accompanied by an adult!
Joyce Juniors
Kids (ages 5-15) attending at least four family matinees automatically become Joyce Junior members and save 40% on the price of their tickets—that’s $10 reduced to only $6. Joyce Juniors receive a special "welcome packet" filled with fun activities and treats each time they attend a family matinee performance!

NYC Dance Venue Coloring Pages
Can you name three places to see dance around New York City? Now’s your chance to visit dance venues around town by downloading our NYC Dance Venues Coloring Pages. Coloring is fun at any age. Learn facts about dance spaces found in each borough. Try to figure out how to get to the world famous Apollo Theater through Apollo’s Maze, and see how many dance words you can find in the dancing word search. The coloring pages are the result of a collaborative project created by Joyce student interns!
