With the generous support of the California Arts Council, Culture Shock Dance will be able to support 30,000 individuals in receiving dance training through its Training Academy and Performance Troupe programs. These initiatives provide opportunities for individuals of all ages to engage in hip-hop dance education and performance. The Studio Program offers dance classes for various skill levels and styles within hip-hop, while the Performance Troupe Program allows dancers to audition for troupes appropriate to their age and skill level. These troupes rehearse weekly and perform at free community events across San Diego.
Culture Shock’s core programs and services are a Training Academy for all skill levels and a Performance Troupe Program for dancers looking to develop a higher level of discipline and perform for the public. Culture Shock’s rare combination of dance education and troupe programs allows its dancers to advance from student to troupe member to professional auditions.
