It's an undefeated Rockford dance team that's changing the lives of local teens. Fatally Unique just danced its way into a major Chicago parade.
Teammates call the dance team founder PrinceAlonzo he's the 17 year old founder of Fatally Unique, a Rockford dance team that's had a ton of success but that's not this group's only goal.
PrinceAlonzo tells us, "Most of the kids in the summertime, African American kids primarily, they're all in the streets, they're having fun but we're kids that come here to dance everyday, and I can pretty much say that this has changed their life."
Some dance team rules: no alcohol, no drugs, no violence and practice, practice, practice. Sometimes up to three times a week even during the school year.
All this hard work paid off! Fatally Unique just landed a spot in this Saturday's Bud Billiken parade in Chicago where they hope to dance up a storm.
Most of the teams members, Auburn High School students are trying to raise money for things like uniforms. If you'd like to make a donation you can reach PrinceAlonzo at (815)299-2251
