The Jamaica Centre for Arts & Learning (JCAL) presents the 16th Annual Making Moves Dance Festival (MMDF2025) during 19th – 21st September, a dynamic three-day celebration of cultural expression, healing, and community strength. This year’s festival features a special collaboration between Baila Society and Navatman titled “The Seed,” exploring themes of collective care, identity and safety.
Returning from a sold-out run of “Roots of Resilience” at the Rose Nagelburg Theatre, these acclaimed groups use dance as a powerful medium for community dialogue and healing. Baila Society’s vibrant choreography celebrates Afro-Caribbean rhythms and stories, emphasizing connection and cultural safety. Navatman’s Indian classical dance delves into resilience across generations, fostering reflection and empowerment.
“The Seed,” co-created by choreographers Sahasra Sambamoorthi and Ahtoy Juliana, features principal dancers Jessica Ho and Edwin Tolentino and serves as a festival centerpiece.
The festival will be held at JCAL, with performances beginning at 7 PM daily and receptions at 6:30 PM. Tickets are $10 per night and available on JCAL’s website.
