DS Collective

DS Collective is DanceSyndrome’s group of performance artists. They attend regular special events and exclusive performances, emphasising a focus what people with learning disabilities can achieve, with the right support. Their work inspires and empowers both dancers and audiences to believe that opportunities are endless for people who refuse to be defined by disability.

The DS Collective co-produces stunning performance pieces which have been showcased at events across the UK, including the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

If you would like to book them for your event, please visit the Performance page.
