Delegates are the representatives from each of the participating organizations with Dance Marathon.
Their primary responsibility is to share their passion for our cause by motivating their members to make the most of their experience with Dance Marathon. Delegates share information pertaining to our cause with their members. DM at FSU would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our Delegates!
If you are interested in starting a team, please contact our Membership Chair at:

Delegate applications for DM 2026 are now open.
Inspiring New Leaders, INL, is a Dance Marathons' unique freshman leadership program that is designed to empower first-year students to learn about our mission and the incredible work we do. Throughout this immersive experience, students will build meaningful connections, develop valuable leadership skills, and find their meaning to “Why” the DM at FSU is so special.
As an INL, they will have the incredible opportunity to hear from inspiring guest speakers, including our Miracle Families, leadership professionals, and representatives from FSU College of Medicine's Pediatric Outreach Program . These speakers will share their stories and help the INLs see their impact firsthand, and help them draw deeper connections to what drives our organization. In addition, INLs will attend presentations from each of our 17 Internal teams, learning about the different roles and responsibilities that take place throughout our organization.
During the year, INLs will be paired with one of our Internal teams to shadow and gain hands-on experience during the Marathon and other key events. This mentorship allows them to explore their interests, better understand team dynamics, and prepare for future involvement within the organization.
INLs will meet weekly on Tuesdays at 6 pm, engaging in workshops, team-building activities, important updates, and leadership development sessions. All crafted to build confidence, foster collaboration, and equip them with the tools to become impactful leaders on campus and beyond. This program aims to help our newest students grow as leaders and instill confidence in them to get involved on campus and show them that they can make a difference.
