The Joyce Theater regretfully announces that Jin Xing Dance Theatre will not be presented this season (originally scheduled for January 27 - February 1). Although The Joyce was excited and committed to present this company, the current financial crisis has forced Jin Xing's private sponsors - those responsible for financing this trip to the United States - to withdraw their commitment. And unfortunately, Jin Xing Dance Theatre does not have the financial resources to cover the budget of such an engagement. New dates have not yet been announced.

Currently at The Joyce Theater, through December 7, is Limón Dance Company, Benjamin Millepied Danses Concertantes (December 9 - 14), Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (December 16 - January 4), Parsons Dance (January 6 - 18) and Elisa Monte Dance (January 21 - 25).

The Joyce Theater Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization, has proudly served the dance community and its audiences since 1982. The founders, Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, acquired and renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea, which opened as The Joyce Theater in 1982. The Joyce is named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther's clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to establish the theater. One of the only theaters built by dancers for dance, The Joyce Theater has provided an intimate and elegant New York home for more than 290 domestic and international companies. The Joyce has also commissioned more than 130 new dances since 1992. In 1996, The Joyce created Joyce SoHo, a dance center providing highly subsidized rehearsal and performance space to hundreds of dance artists. 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 pre-engagement Dance Talks and post-performance Humanities discussions. The Joyce Theater now features an annual season of approximately 48 weeks with over 340 performances for audiences in excess of 135,000.
