DanceSafe

DanceSafe is a nonprofit organization, with 9 local chapters in the US and Canada. DanceSafe was founded in 1998 by Emanuel Sferios. He resigned in 2001. Bryan Oley served as Board President and Executive director from 2001-2009, Nathan Messer from 2009 - 2012 and is currently headed by Missi Wooldridge. DanceSafe currently has a four-member board of directors who oversee the operations of the organization.

DanceSafe youth volunteers set up tables at raves and other events to distribute non-biased educational literature containing information describing the effects and risks associated with the use of various drugs and sell testing kits so that users may obtain more information about the contents of their pills. They also offer on site peer counseling, health and safety tools (Condoms, water, earplugs) and patrols for events that assist in keeping patrons safe.

Emanuel Sferios, the founder of DanceSafe, claims that his organization has saved lives by preventing young people from taking the more dangerous adulterated pills and by educating them.
