October 16, 2025 (West Palm Beach, Fla.) — Choreographer, certified fitness instructor, and diabetes warrior Amy Jordan will host three dynamic dance and fitness events in West Palm Beach that celebrate well-being.
Timed to National Diabetes Awareness Month, these events empower the community, regardless of age, ability, or experience, to implement good habits before the busy holiday season.
According to the CDC, over 38 million Americans have diabetes. Amy is one of them. At age four, she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and later became legally blind. At 39, she was struck by a New York City bus and nearly lost her right leg. After 23 surgeries and intense physical therapy, she could walk—and dance—again. She has since founded Amy Jordan Speaks and the Victory Dance Project, inspiring others to declare their own victory dance.
To start the fun, Amy will partner with Rohi’s Readery in West Palm Beach for a free Kids Victory Wellness Hour on Saturday, November 8 at 1 p.m. Children ages six and up will learn how to implement a balanced lifestyle through a Victory Movement class, wellness workshop, and games.
On Sunday, November 9 from 1-4 p.m. at Fitness Hub Studios in West Palm Beach, Amy will lead a Victory Workout and Dance Day. The day will start with a Victory Workout, followed by a dance/fitness class with the Victory Dance Project and dance performances by local youth. Space is limited; each class is $35 (or $70 for both classes, plus a signed copy of Amy’s book Dance Because You Can).
“These events are open to anyone interested in healthy living and movement,” says Amy, an NASM-certified fitness pro. “Attendees can also modify the moves based on their comfort level, ability, or pain management needs. Whether you’re getting back into the groove or you’re new to fitness, let’s celebrate our amazing bodies and our strength together.”
The final event is a free screening of Amy’s Victory Dance, highlighting her journey living with diabetes, on Wednesday, November 12 from 6-8 p.m. at the Mandel Public Library. Afterward, guests can engage in a Q&A with Dr. Paul Skomra, internist at Mount Sinai New York – Concierge Care in Palm Beach, about disease management and prevention.

About Amy Jordan
Amy Jordan is an award-winning author, keynote speaker, fitness expert, and choreographer. Raised in West Palm Beach, Florida, she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age four. This and an eating disorder caused her to become legally blind by 21. In 2009 while crossing the street in New York City, she was hit by an express bus, which crushed her right leg. While pinned under the bus tire, Amy made a determination in her own heart: “If I survive the night, there will be a Victory Dance.”
After 23 surgeries and rigorous physical therapy, in June 2017, Amy literally danced again onstage with the Victory Dance Project, her professional dance company. She now has an award-winning book, Dance Because You Can, and an internationally-acclaimed documentary directed by two-time Emmy nominee and celebrity choreographer Brian Thomas.
