On the Dance Floor...
American Line Dancing this Saturday 5/12/12

It's that time for another edition of Weigh Wise,  a monthly series dedicated to focusing on the managing weight by Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Michelle Barth, RD, CDE.

If you come to this Saturday's dance, you'll get volume 5 before everyone else. 
What's in all those boxes? 
Keeping up with Dance Out Diabetes
Greetings!

A peek behind the scenes.   
Before every dance is a flurry of activity to get everything ready for our participants. Graduating health promotion intern Kenzie Kujawski (congrats!) made another fun video which shows you some of the prep. Love her sense of humor with the Flight of the Bumble Bees clip. Though Kenzie may have left San Francisco she will still work with us remotely.

Allen Isidro has been teaching line dancing for years at senior centers, recreation departments, various fundraising events, community centers, and many more Bay Area facilities. Allen will offer a fun, new approach to low-impact exercise in his American Line Dancing class with Dance Out Diabetes.

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.  

 

Come join us at the African American Art & Culture Complex (AAACC) located at 762 Fulton Street, San Francisco 94102 (between Webster and Buchanan, with easy Muni access and free parking). 

 

Best to arrive promptly at 1 p.m. for check-in (or 1:15 if you are not doing the health screening). Bring water, a snack if you need it and comfortable shoes.  

 

Thanks to the Aetna Foundation for their financial support of our Dance Off the Weight Program and to the AAACC who generously donated Dance Studio A space for our use. 

Urban Future Leaders Of the World raised awareness and funds for Dance Out Diabetes.

 

Shibin Tharayil, Emily Parathara and Omar Paul lead the group of UFLOW students in a walk around Lake Merced Park this past Saturday in San Francisco. We performed diabetes risk tests, blood pressure screening and shared information about our new Cash and Care for Wellness Program.

 

They raised $266!

 The first drawing for the Cash and  Care Wellenss Program happens
 at  the end of May. If you haven't  already signed up for this free  program that  can get cash in your  pocket, start  here. It is open for  people with and without diabetes by  racking up points for taking an active  role in your health. The new library  will be uploaded to the the secure  patient portal next week.

 

 P.S. Happy Mother's Day! Here is  mine dancing... what's that about the  apple falling from the tree? 
 Next month it's ZUMBA on 6/9.
