The monthly intensive weekend trainings form the central in-person component of the Global Dance Education Program. During these training weekends, participants work intensively with experienced national and international instructors and develop their dance skills through professional training, individual guidance and practice-oriented sessions.

Once a month, participants attend an intensive training weekend in their city, close to where they live, or at another available location of their choice. Depending on where the training weekends are offered, participants can choose the location that suits them best. They may train close to home or choose to travel further and experience the program in another city or country.

The focus is on the continuous development of technique, expression, performance and artistic personality. Through regular in-person training phases, participants experience an intensive learning environment in which they are individually supported and guided on their professional journey.

The curriculum is complemented by areas such as singing, acting and professionally guided dance medicine training, supporting healthy physical development and sustainable training practices. Theoretical modules such as functional anatomy, nutrition, dance history, cultural management and music theory broaden the understanding of the various fields within the professional dance industry. In addition, workshops and practice-oriented sessions provide further insights into creative, artistic and organizational aspects of dance.
