Although Highline Ballroom is closing, for now, don't think it will be gone forever. Steven Bensusan, the owner of the Highline Ballroom, said that the venue is closing after 12 years because its lease wasn't renewed. He also said that he is currently looking for a new location in the Chelsea neighborhood.
