MONTEGO BAY, St James — A standing ovation and packed auditorium at Iberostar Rose Hall Resort, Sunday evening, was a signal to principals of the National Dance Theatre Company (NDTC) that Montego Bay is eager to play a larger role in its annual season of dance.

Enthralled by an evening of intense and beautifully choreographed pieces, the appreciative audience applauded heartily after each performance and were left appearing eager for more.

There were audible oohs and ahhs of amazement as members of the troupe twisted, twirled, leapt, and executed a range of intricate moves across the stage.
