"The notion of incorporating youth of all genders, sexual orientations,
ethnicities and other cultural backgrounds into a safe space where they are
free to express their love for dance, their passion for music, and their desire
for family and community under one roof is priceless! This is what Culture Shock
Dance Center provides to the youth of San Diego and its neighboring cities!
The leaders of this center have the heart to reach out to all, and are true
role models to the dance industry and all human beings!! "

"Culture Shock not only has incredibly talented instructors and choreographers,
and a great facility, but I love their philosophy that encourages our youth
and gives them the freedom of expression through their wonderful gift of dance.
I especially appreciate the fact that they emphasize the importance of education
FIRST, as the students who are on the Mighty/Future Shock dance teams must maintain
good grades in order to remain on the team. "
