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.
