SHOCK is a one-day dance intensive packed full of exciting classes from the industry's top teachers and choreographers. Although it's only one day, you pay half the cost of a more expensive (and less cool) 2 day convention, but get almost the same number of classes all rolled into 1 day with no need to pay for a hotel room.
