How to get in
Buy RA tickets in advance for Friday/Saturday and Mister Sunday — walkups get turned away when sold out. The door briefs you on consent and phone rules; don't film on the floor. If money is tight, the email-ahead sliding scale is real.
The honest take
The best-run dance space in NYC for actually dancing — strict no-phones and no-photos rules on the floor, great sound, free water and earplugs. Downsides: the etiquette rules read as preachy to some, covers plus fees add up, Friday/Saturday sells out, and the yard is rough dirt and gravel underfoot.
