THANK YOU! As the curtain closes on the National Dance Theatre Company (NDTC) 64th Season of Dance, our hearts are filled with gratitude. To our audiences, sponsors, partners, alumni, artists, creative and technical teams, and every individual who supported us, thank you. From Kingston to our historic closing performance in Montego Bay, you showed up, gave generously and reminded us of the enduring power of dance to unite and inspire. This season was made possible because you believed in the NDTC and in the excellence of our people. We are deeply grateful. Thank you for journeying with us. The dance continues! #NDTC64 #RootedMovingRising #NDTC #SeasonOfDance #ThankYou
