What is the UNC Dance Marathon?
Historically, UNC Dance Marathon has been a 24-hour no-sitting, no-sleeping event held in the spring on UNC Chapel Hill's campus each year. This year, we are switching it up and hosting a 12-hour marathon! Our goal with this change is to recruit more dancers and be able to raise more money by saving production costs. Each year, hundreds of students pledge to remain on their feet for the entirety of marathon to show their support for our cause and support the patients and families of UNC Children's Hospital. Throughout the event we have multiple performances, activities and food to keep participants entertained and energized. The UNC Dance Marathon is our largest event with the most student involvement than any other event throughout the year, and it is so much fun!
Due to COVID-19 regulations, our event has been held virtually for the past two years. We are so excited and grateful to host our 2022 Dance Marathon in person, and we cannot wait to see you there!
