About the flooring---
"The best floors in San Diego"

Dance is a very physical activity that requires a lot of jumping, which can put stress on bones and joints. Most dance footwear does not provide any cushioning or support, so the shock of dance movement can place a lot of pressure on the knees and back of a dancer. The best way to prevent against potential injury is by choosing a studio with a professional “floating floor”. A floating floor is a dance floor that rests on a system of high-density foam, to absorb the shock of jumping. A high-density foam base is superior to a “sprung” floor, which usually consists of a wood structure built on the regular floor.
At Culture Shock Dance Center, we have taken it a step further by installing the latest technology in floating floors, the Neoshok Flooring System, a floating sports floor that offers high resiliency, uniformity and the best shock absorption on the market today. Built on a multiple layer polyurethane pad, the floor is topped with a high grade maple finish that allows for versatility, durability and a safe surface. This surface combined with our sub-flooring will reduce injuries and fatigue. It quite simply is the best dance floor you will find in San Diego.
