Went here for a few beginner heels classes and the instructor made many snarky comments. Very judgy and unwelcoming here! However It’s been a while so I really hope the vibes got better.
Sean’s cardio hip hop is my favorite of all classes… he is an amazing instructor!
This is such a fantastic spot! There are so many varieties and styles of dancing, every day of the week. The prices are very reasonable, which is nice as it keeps it within reach, though the classes can feel a little big. The rooms are large, well lit, with nice big mirrors to help guide the moves and steps. The…
I know this place has been around for a while, now, and that I'm late to the party, but I am really falling in Love with Culture Shock–and ESPECIALLY with K.R.U.M.P.

The hip hop classes are so much fun here! Sean is the absolute best instructor! Always a great vibe, amazing music and great energy in the room.
I decided to go way out of my comfort zone for the new year and try the cardio hip hop class. I was so nervous but absolutely LOVED it. Everyone was so welcoming and the atmosphere was so inclusive to anyone with any background or ability. I was a total novice but felt like I picked up on so much. Great music, great…

This is such a fantastic spot! There are so many varieties and styles of dancing, every day of the week. The prices are very reasonable, which is nice as it keeps it within reach, though the classes can feel a little big. The rooms are large, well lit, with nice big mirrors to help guide the moves and steps. The only drawback is that parking can be a terrible experience. It's (very limited) street parking for this space and all the other warehouse workout spots on the street. Give yourself plenty of time to park!
I know this place has been around for a while, now, and that I'm late to the party, but I am really falling in Love with Culture Shock–and ESPECIALLY with K.R.U.M.P. I only met them this last year, but I want to give a massive shout-out and words of gratitude to the instructorsTrxnty & Hybrd for ALWAYS, pushing me to better every single time I see them. I'm a bit anti-social, experience a HIGH level of anxiety, I'm an overthinker, and people naturally scare me... but something about each and every individual I meet at Krump feels a little bit like family, and after every session I damn-near feel like the Grinch when his Heart grew 3 sizes too big for his body 😅🤣😭 I have nothing but love for this place, and I wish nothing but blessings and prosperity to any and all Souls who help keep it running. #JUSTKEEPDANCING ❤️🔥🕺
Love the instructors and the positive energy of this studio!
