The room at Ten’s, in plain text
A round stage in the middle of the floor, a pole through the centre of it and a steel hoop rigged above. This is the reading edition of the stage page: the same room, described rather than rendered.

The room and what runs in it
Pole, aerial hoop and live horn on a round stage in the middle of the floor.
Everything below is the room at 2945 Arthur Kill Road, rebuilt from the club’s own photographs. Nothing on this page is stock and nobody in it was generated.
Three disciplines, one floor
A night at Ten’s is built like a bill, not a loop. Sets rotate through the evening, the rigging comes down when it is needed, and the room’s light changes with the discipline — hard blue for the aerial work, warm and low when the horn comes out.
- Aerial hoop
- A steel lyra dropped out of the truss over the middle of the stage, and flown back up between sets.
- Pole feature
- The pole runs from the centre of the round stage clean into the truss, so the work happens in the round.
- Live horn
- A saxophonist plays over the house set, at the pole, with the bottle wall lit behind him.
The photographs are the evidence for all three; we publish no schedule for any of them.
The hoop comes out of the truss
A steel lyra rigged into the ceiling truss directly above the round stage, dropped for the aerial sets and flown back up between them. The room goes to blue and the haze catches the beam so you can see the shape of the light as much as the shape of the performer. It is the single least likely thing on Arthur Kill Road.
Floor to ceiling, through the middle of the stage
The pole is not on a platform against a wall. It runs from the centre of the round stage straight up into the truss, which means the work happens in the round and every seat in the house is a front seat. On a full Friday the floor around it disappears under paper.
Somebody is actually playing
A saxophonist works the floor over the house set — sequinned suit, white brim, gold horn, standing at the pole with the bottle wall lit behind him. Live musicianship in a room like this is rare enough that people who come for it end up staying for everything else.
We don’t publish performers’ names. Ask the host who is on, or follow the room on Instagram.
The fixtures the photographs evidence
- Round elevated stage — with the pole through its centre
- Steel hoop — rigged into the truss above it
- Lit triangular fixtures — the length of the back wall
- A long bar — with the bottle wall lit behind it
- Black leather banquettes — low, around the perimeter
- A dark reflective floor — that holds every beam twice
No capacity, table count, balcony or mezzanine is stated anywhere on this site, because none is known.
Everything we have of the room
Eleven photographs made for Ten’s between 2023 and 2025 — some on the floor during service, some in a studio session. No stock, no renders, nobody generated. This is the room as the camera found it, which is to say mostly in blue.
Act one · Two frames: The room
Two frames with nobody in them. The round stage with the pole through it, the hoop rigged into the truss above — the room itself, which is the whole argument, because it is the actual room and not a set.
Act two · Three frames: The stage
Three frames of the work. A Friday at capacity with the floor under cash, a saxophonist playing beside the pole, and one quiet minute on the leather before the room fills.
Act three · Four frames: The company
The studio session and the portrait plates. Two of these files are small — 539 and 630 pixels on the long edge — so they are shown small. Nothing on this page has been upscaled to look like more than it is.
Act four · Two frames: The bar
The long bar and the lit bottle wall, which after the stage is the brightest thing in the building.
Every room in every photograph here is this room. The site this one replaces shipped a picture-library photograph of a dancer against a black studio ground. These eleven all came out of Ten’s own media library.
Blue, violet, magenta — all eleven of them. There is no warm light in any of these files as shot. The ember rake you can see on each plate is ours: composited on top, never graded in, because forcing warmth into a frame lit this cold turns skin orange and neon to mud.
About these photographs
Images are for illustrative purposes only and posed by models. We’ve kept their photographs and their note.
What we can state precisely: all eleven files were served from Ten’s own media library. That is a claim about the files, not about who is in them — so we have kept the club’s own note above rather than presenting the set as documentary. No performer is named anywhere on this page, because the only names attached to these files are filenames, and a filename is not a person’s consent.
Nothing here is stock and nothing here is AI-generated. Nothing has been upscaled past the pixels that exist: the two small files are shown small, and the widest frame in the archive is 1,280 pixels across, which is why the wide moments elsewhere on this site are built rather than photographed.
Two names hold this room’s floor
DJ Renegade and DJ Yamosa are the two names that come up on the big nights here — Renegade on the competition, both of them on a Friday. A DJ who can hold a floor for eight hours is a specific skill, and this room has two.
DJ Renegade and DJ Yamosa. Both names are the club’s own, published against named nights. That either one is a standing weekly resident is our reading of two dated bookings, not the club’s statement — call +1 347-630-7077 to confirm who is on before you travel.
The people who work this room
The cast rotates and the bill changes, which is the point of a cabaret. Some nights are pole-led, some are aerial-led, some have a horn in them. Follow the room on Instagram for who is on, or ask the host when you book — they will tell you straight.
We don’t publish the cast list. Who is on changes nightly.
The stage page on the full site walks a camera through the same room.
The photographs
11 photographs of the room and the work. Each one is described in full below it, so the page reads the same whether or not the images load.
The room
The stage
The company
The bar
The club’s own site notes that its images are for illustrative purposes and posed by models. We’ve kept their photographs and their note.
The same plates, larger and under the room’s own light, are on the stage page’s plate archive, where each one opens full size.
