Soul Line THIS Saturday, 3/10, 1-3 pm!
(Download flyer and share with others here.)
 CC Brown is back by popular demand and will teach us some easy Soul Line dance moves in our new digs at the African American Art & Culture Complex located at 762 Fulton Street, San Francisco 94102 (between Webster and Buchanan, with easy Muni access and free parking). Please thank AAACC for donating Dance Studio A space for our dances.
Email Theresa at tgarnero@danceoutdiabetes.org or call 1-877-765-4386 to say you plan to attend. This secures your spot and helps us have enough staff & supplies. February's East Coast Swing had record attendance, so best to sign-up!
IT IS FREE AND YOU GET $100 value check up including: an A1C test (every 3 months), glucose, blood pressure, BMI, and access to certified diabetes educators who can answer your questions. This is possible because of our dedicated volunteers, individual donors and corporate sponsors.
Please arrive promptly at 1 p.m. for check-in.
[Please note, we are a scent-free health organization.]

Dance Out Diabetes' Executive Director invited to Helmsley Trust.
Because people with type 1 diabetes are welcome to attend our programs (and do), Theresa Garnero will be attending a strategic planning meeting in New York City at the Leona and Harry Helmsley Charitable Trust. Their type 1 diabetes program goal is to advance the understanding of type 1 diabetes by finding and funding promising new treatments and technologies.
They looked all over the spectrum at all sorts organizations within the diabetes community and found Dance Out Diabetes!
Stay tuned for more details. Dance Out Diabetes knows many stellar organizations are actively searching for a cure. We help people now to find joy and connection through dance and support.
In fact, our Aetna Foundation sponsored program is well underway. Read our press release here.
Those in the SF area, watch the SF Examiner on 3/8. We are slated to have a little write up on Thursday.

Diabetes not required.
People who attend our program are dancing for the health of it. They may have diabetes or be supporting someone with it. They may be trying to prevent diabetes due to a family history. Mainly, we are a group of non-dancers in a supportive environment having fun, moving to the music, and enjoying the experience.
