a great place to learn samba – I took the 6 week absolute beginner samba/pole class at Shockra with Keisha and it was GREAT ! I've learnt both the basics of samba and the pole. Keisha, the instructor is very patient, she explains step by step how to dance. she is attentive to everyone. A lot of people would rather choose most know classes like salsa or hip-hop but samba is definitly worth trying !

doesn't get any better – I started off with my sister for a 6 week kettlepole workshop with Vicky. We LOVED it so much that we put together a group of our own to do a more private 6 week kettlepole series. Although we are still in the middle of this series, I love Vicky SO MUCH that I actually signed up to do 20 private personal training sessions with Vicky. Now, for me, this is HUGE. It's HUGE b/c I am in no way, shape, or form, a physically fit person. I'm pretty uncoordinated and my endurance for exercise is not very high... read more

Hooked on Bellydance! – I've been taking bellydance with Keisha for about a year and i'm hooked! I regulary take open class and have signed up for several 6 week workshops as well. Classes are fun, unintimidating and everyone is really friendly. Keisha is very knowledgeable, extremely patient and breaks down all the steps so anyone can do them. Overall she is an excellent instructor. I'm so happy to have found this class! If you're lucky to be close enough, I highly recommend taking bellydance class with Keisha at Shockra St... read more

Great Hip Hop classes! – I just wrapped up my 6-week beginner hip hop class with Jessica and I can't say enough good things! She really broke down the steps and by the end I didn't even realize that I had learned enough to do a whole routine. I loved the class so much that I am already signed up for level 2!

practical dance instruction – I took the 6 week absolute beginner hip hop class at Shockra and it is by far the best beginner dance class I have taken in Manhattan. I love to go out dancing, but wanted to improve my coordination, to learn a few more moves, and to be able to keep up with the dance classes at the gym for exercise. Unlike most instructors who only like and/or know how to teach to naturals, Jessica can break things down into simple steps and she is genuinely enthusiastic to offer as much explanation and repetiti... read more

I'm learning to shimmy! – All I wanted was a new way to stay active. Going to the gym had lost its appeal and I’m not interested in sports. I was drawn to Shockra Studios because it has a belly dance class for ABSOLUTE beginners, which I am. When I first started I was self conscience, awkward and stiff. Keisha, the instructor, leads the class step by step through warm ups, isolations and dance steps. She gives pep talks that melt away inhibitions and self consciousness. She’s alert and attentive to anyone who’s having a diff... read more

Highly Recommended – I can’t recommend SHOCKra studio enough. This place is exactly what I was looking for: relaxed, professional, high energy (at the same time as relaxed, yes). It has been the perfect environment for me to learn hip hop dance and salsa. They really care about the development of their clientele and the classes are a lot more functional than those I’ve taken elsewhere. By this I mean that a lot of studios concentrate on showing you one routine, while SHOCKra focuses on your body awareness and basic moves so ... read more

Keisha Rocks!!!! – I absolutely love belly dance with Keisha. The vibe of the class is really relaxed and Keisha breaks down all the moves in a way that anyone can understand. She's super patient and positive and by the end of class you feel like a goddess who can conquer the world. I've been taking classes for about a year and look forward to belly dancing weekly because its fun,its exercise without having to go to the gym and you feel se xy and confident shimmying and moving your hips to the music. I'd recommend this class... read more

Great for bachelorette parties – Recently scheduled a class for my friend's bachelorette party and it was great! We had so much fun and it was very reasonably priced. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for bachelorette party ideas!!!
