As a non-profit organization, we are committed to the mental and physical mobility of older people. We do this with rhythmics courses, which, according to scientific studies, reduce the risk of falls by over 50%. Demand for this range of courses is growing.
The association carries out continuing education, further training for teachers in collaboration with and in accordance with the requirements of the Jaques-Dalcroze Institute (Universities) in Geneva.
After successfully completing the course, participants receive a certificate authorizing them to lead rhythmic courses according to Dalcroze.
Scholarship opportunities on request.

Participants expand their teaching skills with regard to the promotion of cognitive and motor functions in people of all ages. They are thus able to provide learners with a learning experience that is perceived as enriching and strengthening mental and physical mobility.
At the same time, participants have new opportunities to create varied lessons for smaller or larger groups of all ages.
The aims of the course are:
- The in-depth personal experience of rhythm in the course is the central experience that creates the prerequisite for teaching it to third parties.
