SHOCKra is a great dance studio, especially for the person who doesn't want the intimidation factor of places like Steps or Broadway Dance Center. I just finished a 6 week pole dancing workshop with Keisha, and I can definitely feel that I am stronger (my arms look hot!).
Keisha is a great teacher-- She is friendly and patient (and hilarious) and makes pole-dancing totally not embarrassing at all.
I'm just sad that I moved away and can't go here anymore, and I'll definitely stop in to take a class whenever I'm in town!
Pros: Low key environment, great instructors, awesome workout!
Cons: It's so far away now that I've moved to Baltimore!
