The mission of The Joyce Theater Foundation is to serve and support the art of dance and choreography, promote the richness and variety of the art form in its fullest expression, and enhance the public interest in, and appreciation of, dance and the allied arts of music, design, and theater.  Our programs embrace the entire spectrum of movement styles and traditions, from the time-honored to the untried, and are designed to encourage, sustain, and educate a diverse audience.

One of the only theaters built by dancers for dance, The Joyce Theater has provided an intimate and elegant home for hundreds of domestic and international companies spanning approximately 350 performances over an annual 48-week season.  The Joyce has a rich commissioning history and has provided special residency opportunities for dozens of choreographers to support the creation of new work.  In 2009, The Joyce began operating Dance Art New York (DANY) Studios and making its nine studios available at affordable rates to choreographers, nonprofit dance companies, and the dance and theater communities for rehearsals, auditions, classes, and workshops.  New York City public school students and teachers annually benefit from The Joyce’s Dance Education Program, and adult audiences get closer to dance through informative Dance Talks and post-performance Dance Chat discussions.
