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!
Join us on January 13 for this year’s Booking Dance Festival, a hip and theatrical evening of APAP showcases creatively curated by producer Jodi Kaplan.
This year, we are excited to host the Booking Dance Festival in a new partnership with Open Jar Studios, a spectacular 66' x 50' studio with an enhanced lighting display and 22-foot high ceilings, just a few blocks from the Hilton. Experience a dynamic and diverse selection of worldwide dance companies, discover powerful emerging talent, and end the night with a bang in an afterparty overlooking Times Square!
As a celebrated Broadway producer and Tony voter, Jodi Kaplan also plans to feature a "Broadway Angle" 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!
This elegant, fully-produced, and professionally managed APAP showcase extravaganza seamlessly joins dance and Broadway and features show-stopping performance by Jodi Kaplan's special guest, the dancer, choreographer and Broadway performer Kolton Krouse.

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!
