Fierce & Fearless Program

Our Fierce & Fearless program has been designed to help support dancers & dance professionals in Northern IL & Wisconsin who are dancing OVER fear while fighting serious medical illnesses and/or conditions. Through Dance Over Fear we hope to be able to support young aspiring dancers & seasoned dancers who are having to take a step back from dance due to a serious illness or life altering condition.

But dancers are not the only ones we founded this organization to support. Our Fierce & Fearless program also offers support, encouragement, & love to studio owners & teachers who are facing a challenging time due to a serious illness, life altering condition, or medical setback. Because Dance Over Fear was founded by a studio owner we have a unique understanding of what it takes to run a studio, teach your students, & run a successful business. When you’re sick & undergoing treatments, having surgeries, & are away from the studio we know first hand how challenging it is.

NO ONE dances or fights alone.

We hope the fire within you burns brighter than the fires around you.

We are looking for our first “Fearless Four” for the upcoming 2025 season

Our “Fearless Four” are four local IL dancers who embody our mission of dancing over fear and who inspire those around them by overcoming difficult odds while facing a serious illness or life altering/limiting condition.

In addition to what is included by being part of our “Fierce & Fearless Program” The “Fearless Four” will be recognized at our our aunnual “Somewhere over the Rainbow Ball” & during our annual dance showcase.
