Celebrate the milestone 25th Annual Dancing for Diabetes—the nation’s premier dance event that unites an extraordinary community of performers while raising awareness and vital support for the nonprofit Touched by Type 1.
This special anniversary production is a high-energy, two-hour showcase featuring award-winning and nationally recognized dancers from across the region. Experience an evening of artistry and inspiration, with dazzling performances in hip-hop, jazz, lyrical, tap, high kick and more. Highlights include the moving Kids & Teens with Diabetes presentation—an empowering performance by youth living with type 1 diabetes—alongside dynamic numbers from hundreds of children, teens and young adults representing dance studios, K-12 schools, and collegiate programs throughout Central Florida.
For 25 years, Dancing for Diabetes has celebrated the power of the arts while championing the mission of Touched by Type 1: to elevate awareness of type 1 diabetes, fund the search for a cure and inspire those living with the disease to thrive.
The story began in 2001, when then-ten-year-old Elizabeth Forrest—newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes—launched a small dance performance to combine her love of the arts with her determination to make a difference. Today, that spark has grown into a signature production and a powerful movement that has impacted thousands of lives across the country.
Join us for history in the making at the 25th Annual Dancing for Diabetes—an unforgettable evening of world-class entertainment, heartfelt purpose and community connection that will leave audiences inspired long after the final bow.
