Bring your dance skills to a whole new depth
An in-person training to revolutionise the way you move.
Are you ready to take risks, to fall, to trust, to do something you have never done before… to go beyond the box you have been dancing in?
At HUMANHOOD, we learn to fully surrender to the dance itself, to stop letting the memorised shapes control our expression, to open up every part that is still holding tight, either in our mind or in our body, and we let the flow move freely.
This one-of-a-kind in-person training with us goes beyond mere physicality, it’s a process where you learn to honour your body as a way to access the genius dancer within.

Feeling the rhythm?
We don’t always follow 4/4 or counts of 8, we like to find the odd counting, the kind of rhythm that keeps you awake, that asks of you to be present, to be embodied. Music is a big fuel for us, we invest hours and hours researching and creating our music, because while you can still dance in silence, when you let the music synch into your bones a deeper more profound kind of dancer is awaken. And, when that happens, both silence and sound, stillness and movement, viscerally move you.
Is this program for Me?
The Training Intensives are created for professional & vocational dancers, as well as movement practitioners, who have a passion for HUMANHOOD’s approach to movement and want to re-connect with the essence of dance. Each intensive is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to join Julia and Rudi in-person and be personally trained under their guidance and mentorship.
During five hours daily you will experience a full dive into the company’s holistic movement practice, embody the choreographic vocabulary while learning full repertoire sections of the company’s acclaimed productions as well as take part in the screening of ‘We, HUMANHOOD’ – the company’s documentary.
You will also get an introduction to the ‘behind the scenes’ energetic practices and mind-blowing teachings that Julia and Rudi share with the company dancers, which are part of the company’s unique holistic ethos.
This immersive experience is your chance to step into the heart of HUMANHOOD’s movement philosophy and feel what it is like to move like a HUMANHOOD dancer.
Testimonials
What people are saying...
This is the best training out there, it's my second time and I learned even more than the first training intensive I attended. I can feel the big difference training with HUMANHOOD is making into my carrer, body and life... that's why I keep coming again and again!
I felt I went beyond myself over and over, specially in the improvisation, I learned to listen and move from that place. It was a whole new sensation for me. I flew all the way from Brasil and everything I learned will stay with me forever.
This was more than a dance training, it was a big journey for my body, but also for my mind. Every day I felt the power of dance to unlock, to heal, to uplift, to make me feel the magic of life through the body. It was a dream come true to meet Julia and Rudi in person, and I cannot wait to be back.
I loved it, I could do this everyday... and the energy was beautiful, we created a family together. The time both in and out of the studio was magical.
Julia and Rudi are not only teaching dance, they are teaching us Life! These six days of training have been revolutionary in so many levels, even some of the pilates session we did... as a pilates instructor myself, I discovered something new, deep and awakening.
Mind-Blowing, an incredible out of this world experience! I whole-heartly recommend this training with every cell of my being.
It feels like coming home... I started feeling like I was being moved, as suppose to me doing the movements I am used to. The energy was tangible, this is incredible!
Extraordinary, every dancer should experience this.

FAQ's
We try to organise 2 Training Intensives a year, sometimes this is not possible due to the busy schedule of the company and there is only 1 a year.
In 2024, there will be ONLY 1 Training Intensive, in Birmingham from the 2nd to the 12th April.
Each training intensive has a slightly different schedule, so we recommend to check each one separately and choose the one that suits you the most.
As a general norm:
Training Intensives of 1 week, are generally from Monday to Saturday with a morning session on Sunday.
Training Intensives of 2 weeks, are generally from Monday to Friday, with the week-end in between off (or at least 1 day off!).
There is an option to attend only one week for the Training Intensives that have a 2 week long duration.
It is not possible to attend 2 or 3 days either in the 1 week or 2 weeks long Training Intensives.
This is because the whole Training Intensive is thought to be a progressive experience where the level and depth of the information shared and movement practiced increases over time.
We don’t provide accommodation, however we often are able to provide group discounts/offers on accommodation deals and connect you with the rest of participants in order to make the accommodation booking easier and more economic for all.
We wouldn’t recommend the Training Intensives if you are not a vocational/professional dancer or a movement practitioner. Although Julia and Rudi have a holistic way of approaching movement and their creativity is based on spirituality, during the Training Intensives they really merge this aspect of their art and practice with their highly technical choreographic movement vocabulary.
If you are not a trained dancer or movement practitioner we recommend you to attend the amazing in-person event: The HUMANHOOD Experience— https://www.humanhood.net/thehumanhoodexperience/
or challenge yourself with our online training program were you can replay the lessons as much as you like to practice, grow and evolve your movement expression: https://www.humanhood.net/onlinetrainingprogram/
You can request a refund for this program within 7 days of your purchase and as long as there is up to 30 days before the start of the Intensive.
If you cannot attend due to a ‘force majeure’ we will be able to provide a voucher to use in future companies activities, upon justification of absence.
