Dancing for Diabetes is a nonprofit organization based in Central Florida with a mission to spread awareness through the art of dance about Type 1 Diabetes, to raise funds to find a cure and to inspire those with Type 1 Diabetes to live healthy and active lives. "The energy behind the show is awareness of Type 1 Diabetes, but the show itself is 100% entertainment - It's hundreds of dancers doing what they love to do in support of the cause." says founder Elizabeth Forrest
