Shows

Shows have always been a special part of Jumpin’ at Istanbul, with performances taking place throughout the weekend from our opening night to The Show Night and our final Sunday.

Thursday — Opening Shows

We open Jumpin’ at Istanbul with a night of shows that set the tone for the entire weekend!

And the stage is open to you, too.

Want to perform at JAI? Submissions for the Thursday Opening Shows will open later. Stay tuned for details on how to send us your audition.

Performers must be registered participants of Jumpin’ at Istanbul.

Saturday — The Show Night

One of JAI’s signature events, The Show Night is our one-act performance show taking place on Saturday evening before the party.

The stage brings together jazz dance performances by dancers and artists from around the world, with original creations and pieces prepared especially for JAI.

Expect performances from JAI artists, guest ensembles, live musicians and special collaborations, all coming together for a night dedicated to jazz dance, music and performance.

For our 5th Anniversary Edition, The Show Night returns with a new collection of performances created for the JAI stage.

Sunday — Closing Shows

Sunday brings a cozier and more intimate round of performances to close out the weekend.

Our Performance Tracks take the stage on Sunday, alongside other special performances and creations from the JAI weekend.

A final moment to gather around the stage, enjoy the performances and celebrate the end of our 5th Anniversary Edition together.
