I saw the Alvin Ailey dance company! The theater staff is so well organized and efficient at directing people to their seats. It's a beautiful venue with elaborate ceiling designs and quality performances. I will be back in 2023 to see Natalia Osipova!

As a Torontonian I was not prepared in 2009 to love NYC the way I did as soon as I arrived. I have been multiple times since and I cannot get enough. I love this city and it's architecture. Every time I leave a little piece of me stays behind.

This place is astonishing. The stage as well as the ceiling are stylized with hints of Arabic architecture with blue and gold highlights. The balconies are really steep which allow having very good view of the foreground of the stage from wherever you might be in the audience. The problem comes when there’s something happening towards the back of the stage, in which situation you’ll need to be dead center to see anything. Sound is great if you can get first and second floor seats in the center; if not, sound is pretty whatever. Seats are really affordable and come in various prices. If you are visiting the city and with to see a dance show in a budget, make sure to stop here. Also, the shows curated for this venue are great so keep an eye out for which titles they’ll be presenting.

Pros: Beautiful theater! Well kept! Ample leg space even up in the balcony! Loved seeing the pit orchestra on stage!
Cons: Food and drink not allowed at your seat. There is a bar but drinks have to stay out at the bar. One particular employee was very rude on multiple occasions to guests waiting for the bathroom at intermission (not a make or break moment but still worth mentioning)

Today was my first time at New York City Center to see The Dance Theatre of Harlem. When we arrived, a female DJ played several Stevie Wonder songs before the performance began. People from every age & hue were there. Some danced to the music and others grabbed their seats. The performance was awesome. I would love to see another performance at this venue.
