In other news....
Welcome our newest family member - DANIEL KANG!


Tuesday nights, beginning April 6th:
Hip Hop w/ Daniel Kang
Beginning, 6-7pm, Intermediate/Advanced 7-8pm

Daniel Kang first started dancing at San Jose State University with beggining hip hop classes and soon realized that this was something he loved doing. After only one year of taking dance classes, Daniel was invited to join several local dance teams, and quickly found himself a home with Culture Shock Oakland. After a few years of training, Daniel was awarded the pleasure and honor of being named Culture Shock Oakland's artistic director, which allowed him to grow and gain the knowledge to start his own company, Groove Against the Machine . Daniel would describe his dance style as simple, effective and style heavy and loves anything he can groove to. He wishes to share his love and vision of dance with anyone whos there to learn.

Come and sample Daniel's new classes at our Open House day, Sunday April 4th.

Check out some videos of Daniel doin his thing:
