In collaboration with the interest groups, Danse Suisse is organizing a three-hour “Fit for Dance” workshop with Angélique Keller in September and November 2025. It shows that physical fitness is the key to outstanding stage performance.

Danse Suisse is actively involved in cultural policy considerations and measures, such as position statements, discussions and working groups. Through its managing director, Danse Suisse is represented on the board of Swissculture, Swissculture Sociale and in the Taskforce Culture working group. Together they warn against short-sightedness regarding the Relief Package 27.

The “Binding First Dance” project launched by the Sophie and Karl Binding Foundation in 2020 will be continued and strengthened as of June 2025 under the name “First Dance” in cooperation with the Ernst Göhner Foundation.

The professional transition after an active career on stage is a complex challenge for many professional dance artists. For this reason, the Swiss Foundation for the Retraining of Performing Artists (SSUDK) has launched a promising collaboration with Athletes Network, the Swiss network for active and former professional athletes.

The “disframe” network, funded by the Migros Culture Percentage, is the successor project to “IntegrART”, which has been presenting inclusive dance and theater productions with its partner festivals every two years since 2007 and is committed to inclusion in the performing arts.
