My daughter has danced at culture shock for the last 6 Years. I can't say enough about how wonderful the teachers and staff are here. They are truly like family whether you do one dance or 15. Highly recommend giving culture shock a chance.

Culture Shock is a local dance studio excelling in dance, yoga, and even martial arts! Learn traditional dance styles like Ballet or tap, and spice it up with some groovy hip hop or escape to the islands with Polynesian.
Culture Shock is the only dance studio in the area with ADULT CLASSES! And I absolutely love them for it. Being a part of a recital was something I never got to do as a child, and being able to learn a tap routine, and a lyrical routine, and perform them along with other adults and kids passionate about music and dance was exhilerating. I so cannot wait until summer classes start

My daughter has danced here since she was 4. I never danced growing up, so I was a clueless dance mom. Everyone has been so welcoming and helpful and I no longer feel clueless. She has learned so much both dance related and socially. I recommend Culture Shock to anyone looking for an amazing dance studio.

I’ve been going here since I was three! I absolutely love them! The staff is so friendly! Everyone here is truly a family. All ages are welcome to join dance and no one is excluded. A safe comfortable environment for kids to be! Everyone is allowed to express their creativity through dance here. They have all kinds of different styles including Polynesian if your looking to try something fun and different!

Truly love this place!
If I could give more stars I would!
Going on two years here with my daughter and my son.
I’ve had experience in 4 other dance studios within 60 mile radius- since moving back to this area, after many years. Only one other comes close.
But not like this one.
Mom & daughter run, they are truly caring, both SUPER sweet, helpful, professional, and both are people persons. Whole-heartedly appreciating this from a quite busy dance studio 🤩
Some of the STAFF at the front desk,
though, can be not-so friendly and off- putting..

Anita Doucette and the rest of the staff at Culture Shock are experienced and nice to their students. In my opinion, Culture Shock Performing Arts Center is the best dance studio around! Keep doing what you're doing!
