About The Founder:

Finding the positive in life is something that is near and dear to the Dance Over Fear’s founders heart. She has not led an easy life but continues to share her story and spread her light wherever she can. Felicia Reinhard (33) was born with all of the cards stacked against her. Born premature and addicted to cocaine and heroin, Felicia “aka Fee’s” start to life was not easy, nor has her journey. Fee was adopted at the age of 3 after being in foster care from birth. Fee has been fighting all her life against multiuple autoimmune and blood diseases, has undergone over 50 surgical procdures and surgeries, fought and survived sepsis 4x, survived 2 PE’s, and continues to require lifelong treatments (including low dose chemotheraphy and biollogics) for her main diseases- Ankylosing Spondylitis and Antiphospholipid Syndrome for the rest of her life. During the challenges of COVID Fee opened her own private competitive dance studio with an emphasis on acro and dynamic choreography that she directed for several years. With a passion and love for not only dance (specifically Acrobatic Arts- which she is trained and certified) Fee also is a self taught photographer who specializes in modern family portraiture & lifestyle photography. After years of dedication to her students by providing encouragement for kids to step onto stage and perform, Fee is now excited to do what she loves most - To inspire young people through her own unique journey. Fee is looking forward to creating, planning, and putting together enriching and special experiences and memories for local dancers and studios. She hopes that her story of faith and determination can inspire other dancers and dance professionals who may be facing serious illnesses and hardships to not give up on their dreams. She looks forward to connecting dancers together to be a positive and bright light for one another- and not let fear take over. Her message of love and light we hope will transcend through the dance world and spark hope for each person her program touches.
