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 inspiring, empowering, and teaching individuals with Down syndrome who have an inherent aptitude for the performing arts.

We change the world

Through weekly rehearsals and dedicated practice, the dancers have developed into a company that performs across a variety of musical genres—including classical ballet, jazz, and modern dance. Moreover, Company d members have learned to work together as a team, united in “one movement” through discipline and commitment.
