Our mission is to prevent and manage diabetes through dance, education, support and increased access to care.

Dance Out Diabetes is a fun dance community made up of all ages, abilities, people with and without diabetes, friends, families, volunteers, and certified diabetes educators. Regular dance programs include ongoing health screenings, a 45-minute dance lesson, and different genres of music. Participants have an opportunity to socialize with peers facing similar challenges in a relaxed and informal setting.

Dance Out Diabetes increases access to health care. Thanks to generous sponsors and donors, we offer no charge opportunities to meet with an on-site Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) who checks key health markers and answers questions about diabetes prevention and self-management. This includes height, weight, blood pressure, blood sugar (glucose) levels before and after the dance and estimated glucose average or A1C (the three-month glucose average). Dance Out Diabetes provides personalized feedback to those who attend regularly.
