Kids & Teens with Diabetes Spotlight supporting Dancing for Diabetes
Dancing for Diabetes

About the Cause

Dancing for Diabetes has been spreading awareness about Type 1 Diabetes through the art of dance since 2000.  We create and participate in a variety of events and initiatives to educate the community about the realities of living with Type 1 Diabetes – and raise funds to assist in finding a cure.  And for those living with the daily reality of Type 1 Diabetes, we offer a supportive community with many interactive programs and creative resources designed to empower you to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

Until a cure for Type 1 Diabetes is found, it is our mission to support the approximately 1.25 million American children and adults whose lives are impacted.  We do this with passion to support those we serve and with gratitude for the impact made possible through the leadership of our Board of Directors and through the generosity of our sponsors and community partners.



Dancing for Diabetes' Dance Program


"Kids & Teens with Diabetes" is a program which offers an opportunity for children and teens living with Type 1 Diabetes to build lasting friendships, gain dance experience, and let loose in a fun, safe, and encouraging environment. Members of the program participate in a series of free dance classes each Fall that conclude with a performance in the live annual show, "Dancing for Diabetes."


You can support this year's program by "sponsoring" one or more of our Kids & Teens participants. We hope you will then join us all on Saturday, November 9th at the Bob Carr Theater in Orlando for the 19th Annual Dancing for Diabetes showcase as we cheer on these inspiring Type 1 Warriors! Tickets go on sale October 1st at drphillipscenter.org.
