Professional register for dance pedagogy

The title of dance teacher is not protected in Switzerland. Nevertheless, there are of course numerous dance teachers in Switzerland for all dance techniques who teach dance with great expertise and at an excellent level. In order to provide these teachers with a proof of quality, Danse Suisse has been maintaining the Danse Suisse professional register for dance educators for many years.

The professional register is managed by a commission of experts in various dance techniques and styles from all over Switzerland; the commission decides on all applications for admission.

Only teachers who have successfully passed an evaluation process are listed in the professional register. This certificate is now recognised by many cantons, cities and local authorities, for example for dance lessons in the arts and sports programmes of many cantons.
