About Without Limits Team Galaxy
Founded in 2017, Without Limits Dance Company was created with a heartfelt mission: to provide dancers of all abilities a space where they feel safe, supported by professionals who understand their unique needs, and, most importantly, truly valued and loved.
What began as a small initiative offering inclusive recreational dance classes has since grown into something much larger. Over the years, the program expanded to include competitive dance, cheerleading, and, following a meaningful merger in 2022 with a local Special Olympics agency, athletic programs under Special Olympics Illinois. This partnership united two strong community-focused programs into one dynamic organization--Without Limits – Team Galaxy. We’re proud to offer a wide range of inclusive opportunities for individuals of all abilities to grow, compete, and shine—on the stage, on the field, and in life. Welcome to Without Limits – Team Galaxy. Go beyond. |
