Supporting our young talent with Y+S

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.

An important pillar: the training and further education of leaders. Anyone who would like to support our "young dance sport talents" and accompany them on their way will receive in-depth basic training (5-6 days) through Y+S. If you enjoy working with young people, have a basic knowledge of standard and Latin dances and are over 17 years old, then take the opportunity to become an Y+S instructor for standard/Latin dancing!

Next leader course Standard/Latin (in Magglingen):

  • Part 1: 13 - 15 February 2026
  • Part 2: 27 - 29 March 2026

Next training modules (at Dancers Wallisellen):

  • 08.2025 - Dance games and choreographies
  • 11.2025 - Deepening Standard A
  • 07.12.2025 - Salsa for beginners (waiting list)

As places for these courses are limited, we recommend that you register as soon as possible via your Y+S coach at your club or by contacting Anita Frame
