This past year’s APAP 2015 was a huge success with JK&A. The
agency
produced its APAP showcases as Booking Dance Festival NYC!
It featured 27 different dynamic USA dance companies performing
36
showcases in a 7-hour dance extravaganza followed by a VIP
After-Party.
It was magical to see such amazing dance in The Appel Room with
4,500
square feet of glass windows overlooking Central Park. The
response was
overwhelming, presenter attendance was an all-time record, and
participating artists garnered significant interest from
industry
professionals.
