A BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE presented by Culture Shock & Future Shock LA
Music:
Culture Shock LA has created its very own workshop curriculum to provide to locations where dance resources are less available. The workshop utilizes dance and the arts to foster important life skills. Students study fundamentals in Hip Hop/street dance while performing activities that develop their physical, mental, and social abilities. The workshop curriculum is guided by the CA State Standards for Art Education and provides a comprehensive, practical education of Hip Hop/street dance.
Movies:
Culture Shock has reached thousands of students through inspirational performances at school sponsored lecture demonstrations. Presentations include an introduction to the history of Hip Hop/street dance, dance performances and instruction, and positive messages that encourage good health, foster self-esteem, and provide a model for perseverance, education, and productivity.
Television:
Future Shock LA is a youth dance company comprised of dances under the age of 18 and directed by Culture Shock LA. The program allows youth to gain hands-on experience in performing and studying Hip Hop/street dance in a healthy, family-oriented atmosphere. Culture Shock dancers serve as role-models and teachers to encourage the team to practice team work, achievement, and self-expression in a creative and no-judgemental environment. Future Shock also serves as a training ground for the youth to grow and become future advocates of Hip Hop/street dance.
They are the "future" of Culture Shock - the living realization and continuation of the Culture Shock vision.
