Dancing for Dancers Dancing for Dancers was founded in 2014 by dancer/ dance instructor/social worker, Stephanie Schiller, LCSW (Shparago).

Founded in 2014, Dancing for Dancers is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with the mission to connect communities, provide opportunities and support dancers in need. In 2014, Stephanie came up with the idea to plan a dance concert to help support an organization in the Chicago dance community. The first show was held in a dance studio that included 70 performers from 5 local studios. The show grew each year and had a total of 326 dancers representing 17 studios in 2016. D4D has hosted almost 60 studios and thousands of dancers. We celebrated our 10th and 11th concerts in 2022. We have awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships and have donated to several local dance programs. We have awarded 80 D4D Diamond Example Awards that celebrate dancers who are leaders and role models in their community. The 501(c)3 non-profit has continued to grow to include additional scholarship programming, a D4D donation program, community partnerships, and a Mission Ambassador program. We are so excited to host our 12th benefit concert in 2023!!
