Culture Shock was started in 1993 by Angie
Bunch, a professional dancer, international presenter and Nike
Fitness Athlete. Starting the concept as a way of teaching herself
how to dance hip-hop, Angie gathered together a professional performing
troupe of dancers, and by the end of the year, Culture Shock San
Diego was born.
In the next few years Culture Shock would expand
to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas. With each
addition of a troupe, the Mission Statement's concept evolved
into a non-profit, youth outreach and community service program
that is fueled purely by volunteerism.
In San Francisco, troupe members donated time to
starting a free dance and performing group concept known as Future
Shock. These troupes made up of young people from 8-17 years old,
are our direct link to the community. By offering free dance instruction,
a safe place in which to learn and play and a performing outlet,
we found that the youth were more receptive to our drug free and
healthy lifestyle message.
Culture Shock has also distinguished itself as a
major performing power as well as youth outreach pioneers: MTV,
Nike Inc., NBA, WNBA, ABL, ESPN-ABC TV, MGM Grand Hotel and Casino,
and the Centre du Marais are just a few places where the Culture
Shock presence has been felt.
