Mission statement

We are the professional association for dance sport in the disciplines Standard and Latin in Switzerland. As a member of the WDSF and the SDSF we act according to the principles and guidelines of Swiss Olympic. Our members are Swiss dance sport clubs who identify with and support our goals.

We understand dance sport as performance-oriented dancing in competitions in which the athletes effectively combine the elements of technique, physical performance, mental strength and emotionality.

We support our clubs and their athletes in the practice of sport and its local grassroots development. We are committed to the development of all age categories.

We work together with (sports) organisations, institutions, clubs and dance schools to publicise and strengthen the sport of dance. We are open to developments and new trends in dance sport.

We base our actions on the Ethics Charter of Swiss Sport and disseminate its principles within our association.

We perceive the linguistic and cultural differences of the regions as enrichment and strengthen the perception and reputation of dance sport among a broad public.

We cultivate appreciative cooperation with all our partners, within and outside our association. We engage in open and active communication and media work.

We take care to maintain a sound financial position and secure long-term income as the basis for our activities.

We value and appreciate volunteerism in our organisation.

We are politically, denominationally and in sexual orientation neutral.
