“The Dancers” a working title that began back in September of 2000, has evolved into a company that consist of fourteen teenagers that represent four high schools, three counties in West Tennessee and a variety of work placement in the community.
Although the demographics may seem widespread, each dancer and parent has faithfully committed their time to weekly classes, extra rehearsals and giving up weekends to be part of a performing arts troupe that has performed at multiple events locally, regionally and nationally. Venues have varied dramatically from paved church parking lots to performing before an audience of a thousand. The mission of Company d has been to create awareness of the talents and gifts of individuals with a disability in the community through the performing arts. The program has sustained and continues to grow into its seventh year because of the shared commitment of the dancers and parents.
It is truly the spirit and belief of all involved that members of Company d not only continue to change and grow in their abilities and artistic skills but in turn have united into “one movement” to impact and grow their audiences.
