Celebrating the Power of Dance

Empowering young adults with Down syndrome through performance, creativity, and community.

One Step At A Time

Company d of Memphis, Tennessee, is a nationally recognized dance company of young adults with Down syndrome under the artistic direction of choreographer Darlene Winters. Founded in 2001, Company d is committed to inspire, empower and teach individuals with Down syndrome who have an inherent aptitude for the performing arts. Through weekly class rehearsals and dedicated practices, the dancers have developed into a company that performs to a variety of music represented by classical ballet, jazz and modern dance.

We change the world

Company d members have learned to work as a team, united in “one movement” through discipline and commitment. Members of Company d continue to change and grow in their abilities and artistic skills while their performances shape and grow their audiences from venue to venue.
