SHOCKra Studio, perched above East 28th Street-NYC, is a come-as-you-are studio offering dance-based classes with a focus on "unlocking movement".

User Reviews for SHOCKra Studio

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

For anyone who, like me, has been socially crippled by their inadequacy on the dancefloor, Jessica offers a unique method of teaching how to cut it in night clubs. Her approach is analytic, and with great patience she takes her students through each component move in isolation, until they are comfortable to handle themselves in social dancing situations. If you have no natural rhythm or, like me, you were too into punk or chilling to ever learn how to dance, it's not to hard or too late to learn! So don't be a wallflower or embarrassed to get onto the dancefloor. You can even take private one-on-one lesson if you're shy.

Pros: smart approach, anyone can learn

This is the first time I am writing a review on Citysearch. I have been taking samba class at Shockra Studio for 2 monhts now and extremely enjoy it. It is a very friendly place. The class is not too crowded and the teacher is great. Samba is a real workout. The class starts with streaching and abdominal exercises. I highly recomend this class not only who wants to learn the dance, but also who wants to loose some calories.
