The National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica (NDTC) will bring its production Rise: Rituals of Home, Heritage & Thanksgiving to the Miramar Cultural Center on Friday, April 10, 2026, in a two-hour gala performance celebrating Caribbean identity, resilience and artistic excellence.
The event is presented by the Miramar Cultural Center and Tallawah Cultural Productions, Inc., and will be hosted by Commissioner Carson “Eddy” Edwards. Tickets for the April 10 performance are currently on sale at www.miramarculturalcernter.org.
The program, titled Rise, features eight major works from the NDTC repertoire and highlights the company’s distinctive blend of modern dance, classical technique and traditional Afro-Caribbean folk forms. Through choreography, live music and vocal ensembles, the production explores themes of home, thanksgiving and cultural continuity.
Founded in 1962, the National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica is regarded as one of the Caribbean’s leading dance companies. Over the decades, it has earned international acclaim for performances noted for their technical precision, storytelling and dynamic energy.
Organizers say the Miramar performance offers South Florida audiences a rare opportunity to experience the celebrated Jamaican company in an intimate setting.
A second performance is scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026, at 8 p.m. at the Dennis C. Moss Cultural Arts Center under the patronage of Consul General Oliver Mair. Tickets for that show are set to go on sale in March.
