Youth+Sport (Y+S) is the national federal funding programme for children and youth sport - in over 85 sports, including dancing! It supports clubs, associations and schools with contributions for courses, camps and competitions - and ensures that young people remain active in sport. The STSV supports this approach.
A key pillar: the training and further education of instructors. Anyone wishing to support our „up-and-coming dance sport talent“ and guide them on their journey can receive thorough basic training (5–6 days) through J+S. If you enjoy working with young people, have a basic knowledge of standard and Latin dances, and are over 17 years old, then seize this opportunity and become a J+S instructor in standard and Latin dance!
Next leader course Standard/Latin (in Magglingen):
- Part 1: 13 - 15 February 2026
- Part 2: 27 - 29 March 2026
