Music, Dance, Cinema Places Map
Music, Dance, Cinema in New York:
The Ailey Studios
I recommend checking their class schedule in advance. Some classes fill up fast, and you want to secure your spot without waiting!
House of Yes
I think it’s smart to follow them on social media for any last-minute updates or special deals. They sometimes post discount codes for entry.
Broadway Dance Center
My advice is to invest in a couple of drop-in classes instead of just one. They often have deals for multiple classes which saves you some cash and lets you explore more styles!
Bring your own water bottle! They have refill stations, and it’s way cheaper than buying bottled water there. Plus, it keeps you hydrated during those intense classes!
I think wearing layers is key. The studios can be hot, but the waiting areas can be breezy. You'll want to be comfy no matter where you are.
Steiner Studios
My advice is to bring a reusable water bottle. They have fountains, and you can save money rather than buying drinks inside!
Kaufman Astoria Studios
Elsewhere
I think it's wise to dress comfortably but stylishly. You'll be dancing, and you don’t want to feel out of place with the crowd
You might want to get there around 10 PM if you want a good spot to dance; it gets packed very quickly after that!
My advice is to keep an eye on drink specials. They sometimes have earlier happy hours that can save you a few bucks.
Silvercup Studios
I suggest checking their social media for any open house events or special tours. I found out too late that they had one while I was there, and it would’ve been super cool!
Try to catch a glimpse of a live filming if you can. I stumbled upon one and it was so exciting! Just be aware of potential delays.
Lincoln Centre
Birdland
The drink prices can be a bit steep. I recommend grabbing a cocktail before arriving. You’ll save some cash and enjoy the music without worrying about your wallet too much.
Come early—like around 6 PM. The space fills up fast, and you’ll want to grab a good seat. I missed out on a great view because I arrived just before the show started!
Birdland Jazz Club
My advice is to check who’s performing ahead of time. Some artists have a way bigger draw, and you might want to book tickets earlier to get good seats!
