DEAR READERS. In 2024, we will be celebrating 20 years of Danse Suisse – an occasion to look back, pause for thought and, above all, say thank you. Thank you for your trust, your support and your commitment to dance. Our growing community is proof of the relevance and strength of our work – and we look forward to continuing to have you at our side.
Amongst other projects, Danse Suisse was active this year with the → LET'S TEACH DANCE! campaign setting a strong signal for the promotion of quality in dance education. Further, the introduction of the new → professional register and the → Code of Conduct for dance mediators also marked a milestone in the professionalisation of the industry.
The new Danse Suisse Space → LET'S CONNECT DANCE! offers dancers and choreographers an exclusive opportunity to set up a free virtual business card where they can present their activities and personal projects.
Our commitment to promoting young talent was further strengthened by the → Talentscouting Days and the → summerdance summer academy.
Danse Suisse is committed to the topic of alliances. Under our motto LET'S TALK DANCE!, we want to create new connections, deepen existing collaborations and utilize synergies within the dance industry. For us, alliance means more than cooperation – it is about solidarity, mutual appreciation and the common goal of establishing dance in Switzerland as an indispensable cultural asset.
The coming years will be no less exciting. With your support, we want to set new milestones, promote dance at all levels and campaign for fair working conditions in the industry. Let's use the coming years to anchor dance even more firmly in Switzerland – as a lively, versatile and valuable art form.
We wish you happy holidays and an inspiring start to the new year!
Best regards,
Team Danse Suisse
