Dance & Live Performance
Fatally Unique is a traveling Hip Hop dance team originated in Rockford, IL. Words that describe Fatally Unique have always been determined, ambitious, noticed, courageous, innovative and inspiring. Their passion is much more than “Dance.” It is to have a positive influence on people’s everyday lives. Fatally Unique was founded by PrinceAlonzo Russell, D’Andre Smith, & Quentin Tolefree in June 2006. Since then PrinceAlonzo has served as the C.E.O, Head Choreographer, & a dancer on the team.
Fatally Unique’s primary goal is to take teens off the streets and show them a genre of artistic urban avenues. This commitment as leaders not only carries them as dancers but also as activist against drugs, violence, and the everyday battles that other youth struggle with in our society. Their strategy is to teach through the urban arts of dance, primarily hip hop. Through this, they focus on leadership, fitness, self-confidence and high expectations in their educational lives with discipline.
