From the reviews
Trina Ziats and the rest of the staff at Culture Shock are experienced and very kind to all of their students. In my opinion, Culture Shock Performing Arts Center is the best dance studio around! Keep doing what you're doing!
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.
My girls have danced at Culture Shock since they were 3 years old. The teachers and staff had made the girls feel like family and I’ve watched their confidence grow. I especially love that the studio is always improving from year to year, whether it be through renovation or through organization/communication
Absolutely love this dance studio. They make everyone feel like family and create amazing dance routines. The teachers go above and beyond for their students and build relationships that carry on for years .
Your first ballet class at Culture Shock Performing Arts Center
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
