Culture Shock can entertain. It is a professional dance troupe with a 20-year history of providing original and innovative performances. Our troupe has been hired by companies such as DODGE®, Sea World®, Valley View Casino, and many more! Our Directors and Dancers have performed with entertainers such as Missy Elliot, Rihanna, Britney Spears and Destiny’s Child. From services such as Party-Pumping, to Performance, to Education, to Flash Mobs, there is nothing that our dancers do not have experience with when it comes to professional level Hip Hop entertainment.

All of Culture Shock San Diego’s troupes perform in over 30 community events per year. Of those, at least 20 are provided at no cost for the partnering organization. These performances offer regular opportunities for our young dancers to grow as performers and gain confidence in themselves, while contributing to the San Diego County cultural scene. Our troupes regularly work with schools, libraries and charitable groups to provide entertaining and educational dance programs. They also collaborate with local artists and arts organizations. Interested in having one of our troupes participate in your community event? Please contact Jazmyn at jazmynphillips@cultureshockdance.org

Christopher, for the Love…

A Hip Hop Story is based on the life of Christopher Braswell, a man with lung cancer who found friendship and purpose through Hip Hop dance until his death at age 22. Throughout the theatrical, four women tell stories about his quirky habits and relay how much they miss him. Although the tale is tragic, the dancers celebrate Christopher’s life and his love of Hip Hop dance.

Graffiti Life, The Color of my Sole

Graffiti Life: The Color of My Sole, is a collaboration with renowned graffiti writer Pose 2, who shows the hidden drama behind the images found under bridges and on buildings. Through dance, he brings to life the art and culture of graffiti. The acclaimed Culture Shock San Diego body-rocks through this surreal journey as breakin’ and graffiti art merge to entertain and enlighten us about one of the most controversial art movements. Another Graffiti Life performance by Culture Shock San Diego is in the works for spring 2019!
