For the past decade, Jodi Kaplan & Associates has hosted the Booking Dance Festival at Jazz at Lincoln Center,
successfully connecting showcasing artists with top national and international presenters.
For APAP 2024 Booking Dance Festival has been invited to partner with Open Jar!
Experience the unique chance to showcase in an excitingly hip theatrical environment, a spectacular 66' x 50' studio
with an enhanced lighting display and 22-foot high ceilings, just a few blocks from the Hilton. With sprung wood floors
and risers to accommodate industry professionals and Broadway VIPs, you will have an expansive space to dance!
This elegant, fully-produced, and professionally managed APAP showcase will be creatively curated by producer Jodi
Kaplan. Presenters will attend our select event by invitation only, and we will end the night with bang in an afterparty
overlooking Times Square!
As a celebrated Broadway producer and Tony voter, Jodi Kaplan also plans to feature a "Broadway Hour" within the
showcase schedule to highlight the brightest Broadway choreographic stars -- both to inspire the performing arts theater
community, and to expose for consideration within a comercial context. A mutually beneficial positioning!
Applications are reviewed first come first serve. Deadline December 1.

OPEN JAR: This will be the first time this stunning space will be positioned for APAP showcasing. Presenters and Arts
Industry Professionals greatly appreciate the novelty of a new venue location and we anticipate this will contribute to
the Booking Dance Festival showcases at OPEN JAR as a highlighted "go to" event at the conference and within the
Broadway community. Especially considering Open Jar's close proximity to the Hilton with illustrious views overlooking
Times Square!
