The approval needed to enter Class C airspace is like Class D in that you do not need a specific clearance, but you do need to establish two-way communication with control. To be able to enter Class C airspace, a pilot must contact ATC prior to arrival.

To enter Class C airspace, all aircraft must meet the following requirements:
Two-way radio.
Mode-C transponder.
ADS-B Out device.
Establishment of two-way communication with the airspace controller.
There are two exceptions to the Mode C transponder requirement in the FAA regulation Part 91. One for gliders, balloons, and those aircraft which do not have an electrical system, and a second exemption for those who do not have a transponder installed, or who's transponder is not functioning.
An ATC clearance is required to enter and operate within Class B airspace. VFR pilots are provided sequencing and separation from other aircraft while operating within Class B airspace.
Most airspace in the United States is class E. The airspace above FL600 is also class E. No ATC clearance or radio communication is required for VFR flight in class E airspace.
Class C service requires pilots to establish two-way radio communications before entering Class C airspace. If the controller responds to a radio call with, “(a/c call sign) standby,” radio communications have been established and the pilot can enter Class C airspace.
Aircraft not complying with the requirements may be denied access to this airspace. As described in 14 CFR 91.225, ADS-B Out performance is required to operate in:Class A, B, and C airspace.
The hazards and effects of landing an aircraft on a runway without clearance are essentially the same as for a runway incursion. Increased risk of collision for one or more aircraft on the ground is the predominant concern.

Can we fly over it? Technically yes, BUT it's still a very bad idea because a motor out would force you to descend through the Class C airspace. We CAN'T fly here without special permission from ATC. Permission should be obtained in advance by telephone (some controllers will accept a radio call).
