Performers from through South Carolina will appear in Amazing Feets, a benefit for Juvenile Diabetes.

The Palmetto Center for the Arts Dance Ensemble at Richland Northeast High School will present the fourth annual Amazing Feets , featuring more than a dozen of Columbia's dance and theatre groups in two benefit performances for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

This year, Amazing Feets will be held on two nights: Friday, October 13, and Saturday, October 14, at 8 pm in the Richland School District Two Auditorium. Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for students and senior citizens, and are available at the box office. All proceeds and contributions will be donated to the JDRF.

Participating performers include dancers and singers from the Academy of Dance Arts, Broadway Bound at Workshop Theatre, CC Dance Company, Classical Youth Ballet of Columbia, Chosen Dance Academy, Columbia College Dance Company, Divine Playhouse, Orangeburg Civic Ballet Company, Columbia Classical Ballet, Footnotes, Moving for Christ, and Columbia Conservatory of Dance.

All the companies are donating their performance time and talents to raise money and awareness for the Palmetto Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. This year's performance is dedicated to Margaret Foster, who founded Foster School of Dance and Carolina Ballet.

"Every year I am overwhelmed with the dancing and theatrical talent in the Midlands," said Anne S. Richardson, artistic director of the Palmetto Center for the Arts Dance Ensemble. "What an Amazing evening to see so much talent on one stage to raise money for such a deserving group - we all know someone touched by diabetes." Last year's Amazing Feets raised more than $2000 for JDRF.
