Culture Shock, Washington, DC

Culture Shock®, Washington, D.C. Inc. (CSDC) is a non-profit organization committed to using the art of Hip Hop dance as a tool for providing constructive alternatives for urban youth through dance training and mentor relationships, as well as educating the broader community about the positive influences and possibilities of hip hop culture.

In a world where style and music are constantly changing, Culture Shock® choreography remains innovative and unique, resulting in a troupe of individuals who express Hip Hop in a style all their own. Culture Shock® dancers take their passion one step further by sharing their talents with the surrounding community.

Culture Shock’s® on-going commitment to community involvement is exemplified by its Future Shock and Mighty Shock youth outreach programs. Culture Shock® dancers work one-on-one with Future Shock and Mighty Shock kids to offer them a positive alternative to some of the destructive influences plaguing today’s youth. The program provides mentoring and dance training to teens and youth ages 17 and under. Future Shock dancers are then given the opportunity to exhibit and showcase their talents to the community, friends, family, and peers.
