I recommend Salsa class! – I took my first Salsa Class with Jose Luis in 2001. I was doing a work book called "The Artist's Way" and I needed to take myself on a "art date." I was nervous but went to the class anyway. I stood in the back and followed along with the class. I immediately started to feel comfortable and the teacher was encouraging right away. I continued going to Salsa classes with Jose Luis for a long time after that. I made friends there and we met at clubs to dance and socialize. We still keep in touch even ... read more

Excellent Studio! – I have really enjoyed Shockra Studio! I've taken their Absolute Beginner pole and Bellydance/pole classes and have loved each one! In fact, I keep coming back to take their six week series over and over again. The instructor that I've worked with, Keisha, is very attuned to each student's level and does a great job of encouraging everyone to challenge themselves and improve upon skills that eventually become like second nature. She is warm, funny, and you honestly don't realize how the hour of dancing fle... read more

A lot of fun – The level 1 class was a lot of fun, very basic so great for beginners, and the music was great. The class size was small and there was personal attention. The class only ran for a few sessions so is on the short side. Scheduling extra sessions was confusing.

Awesome – The atmosphere is very welcoming. The workout (pole dancing) is an instant mood and energy booster. They offer drop in classes for different types of workouts so you can check them all out and pick what you like best.

So glad I found this place!! – I started out with the Beginner's Hip Hop workshops with Jessica a few months ago, and then began taking private lessons with her. I've improved so much in this short time!! Jessica is an amazing teacher, really patient during the lessons; she will try as many ways as she can think of to explain a move you're not getting. She's also positive and encouraging, and there is always a great energy during our lessons. Basically....dancing at Shockra has become one of the best parts of my life; I alwa... read more

EXCELLENT STUDIO – SHOCKra is an amazing place to take classes for those who are either new to dance, returning to dance, or just wanting to have some fun. Pole I with Vicky was a BLAST, and Ballet 1 with Julie was incredible. Perfect pacing in both classes. Fabulous instruction. Reasonable prices. Really, no downside!

Just do it...it will feel good, trust me – I've always loved dancing, but also found it to be one of the most mortifying things we people do in public. It's like trying to sing in front of people when you can't carry a tune, or public speaking in a foreign language. There's something really intimidating about it, which is why alcohol helps so much. I took hip-hop here with Jessica, and she's so encouraging and positive that she addresses half the issue with dancing, which is all in the head. But she definitely knows what she... read more

Great atmosphere and awesome teachers!! – I love SHOCKra and highly recommend it for others! Especially if you think you can not dance and have little experience its great because the teachers really cater to yours needs. I took Vickys pole classes and was a true absolute beginner and learned sooo much, and besides being an amazing workout it was really fun!
