Providing a stage or platform for performers to use, performance spaces include music concert halls, theaters, dance studios, and more.

Whether you’re a musician, artist, comedian, or theater group, it’s easy to find incredible performance venues in NYC no matter what you’re performing.

Explore a wide variety of live performance venues in Brooklyn, NYC

For a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, performers in Brooklyn prefer lounges and bars for solo piano performances, acoustic shows, and stand-up comedy. On the other side of the performance space spectrum, music halls are great for large-scale performances, offering professional sound and lighting systems, and able to accommodate many audience members. For example, if you're wanting to perform a full concert of your original music, music halls are the perfect place to do it.
Likewise, warehouses are another option for those seeking a larger performance space. With a uniquely industrial atmosphere, converted warehouses are among the coolest performance spaces in NYC and can host fashion shows, art exhibitions, and theatrical performances. When it comes to dance performances, choreographers and performing artists turn to dance studios. These venues may feature sprung floors and long, full-body mirrors, making them perfect for both rehearsals and performances. Whether you’re in the market for ballet studio rentals or the best hip hop performance venues in NYC, dance studios are a fantastic choice.

Spacious and Inviting Chelsea Event Space 1-1
They even arranged the chairs for me. The studio is rather simple, but does its job of providing a safe place to rehearse and perform. As for now there are no dimmer on the lights, no curtains for the mirrors, and no drinking fountain on the floor. But I can...
