Julia Rudolph: Young talent award for Leubsdorf dance idol!

In Leubsdorf, the dance world not only has to contend with the rhythm of the annual training, but also with a special honor for one of its most committed personalities. Julia Rudolph, a 28-year-old dancer and trainer, was awarded the prestigious “Volunteering Young Talent Award 2025” from the Sparkasse Foundation for Youth and Sport of the Sparkasse Mittelsachsen on Wednesday during a training session of the “Leubsdorfer Minis”. The surprise visit from Bodo Scholz, chairman of SV Grün-Weiß Leubsdorf, and mayor Dirk Fröhlich brought this good news straight to training, where the children were dancing eagerly.

The award itself is not only a personal triumph for Julia, but also speaks for the excellent work she does with her children's dance group. The prize is endowed with 1000 euros, divided into 250 euros for the winner, 250 euros for the club and 500 euros for the training of other trainers. This shows how important it is to promote young talent in the field of sport. Julia, who has been dancing at the junior level since 2013 and is now active as a trainer, not only founded the “Leubsdorfer Minis” 2023, but also regularly organizes training sessions, selects music and takes care of outfits and choreographies.

A constantly growing club

SV Grün-Weiß Leubsdorf, to which Julia belongs, is enjoying growing popularity. In the dance department, the number of members has increased to over 50, and overall the club has around 280 members in various sections such as football, dancing, table tennis and recreational sports. An important aspect is that Julia and her team successfully implement the golden rule of volunteering, because without the volunteers' tireless passion and commitment, charitable sport as we know it would be hard to imagine. The German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) emphasizes that voluntary commitment forms the foundation of sports clubs, and without this, leisure, health and competitive sports cannot exist.

Julia recently launched another youth group for young people aged 10 to 15. This continued expansion demonstrates not only their entrepreneurial spirit, but also the growing interest in the art of dance within the community. Bodo Scholz, chairman of SV Grün-Weiß Leubsdorf, praised the excellent work of Julia and her team. “Thanks to their great commitment, we can pass on talent and passion in Leubsdorf,” said Scholz.

Voluntary work as a social good

The importance of volunteer work in sports clubs could not be greater. Over 8 million people in Germany are regularly involved, and this shows how sport forms the largest area in the non-profit sector. At the same time, this sector faces societal challenges, including demographic changes and changing lifestyles. The DOSB is therefore committed to making volunteer work even more attractive in order to attract new members and supporters.

Julia Rudolph is a shining example of how commitment and passion in the community can bear fruit. Their tireless commitment not only motivates the young dancers, but also provides impetus for the entire club life in Leubsdorf. It will be exciting to see how the dance and sports community will develop under her leadership.
