How do you krump dance
Krumping | Hip Hop Dance Wiki
Krumping, also spelled Krumpin, is a street dance popularized in the United States that is characterized by free, expressive, exaggerated, and highly energetic movement involving the arms, head, legs, chest, and feet.[1] The youths who started krumping saw the dance as a way for them to escape gang life[2] and "to release anger, aggression and frustration positively, in a non-violent way."[3]

History[]
The root word "Krump" came from the lyrics of a song in the 90s.[4] It is sometimes spelled K.R.U.M.P., which is a backronym for Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise,[3][4] presenting krumping as a faith-based artform.[5] Krumping was created by two dancers: Ceasare (pronounced CHEZ-a-ray) "Tight Eyez" Willis and Jo'Artis "Big Mijo" Ratti in South Central, Los Angeles, California during the early 2000s. [2][3][6][7]Clowning is the less aggressive predecessor to krumping and was created in 1992 by Thomas "Tommy the Clown" Johnson in Compton, CA.[1][3] In the 1990s, Johnson and his dancers, the Hip Hop Clowns, would paint their faces and perform clowning for children at birthday parties or for the general public at other functions as a form of entertainment.[8] In contrast, krumping focuses on highly energetic battles and dramatic movements[3] which Tommy describes as intense, fast-paced, and sharp.[8] CBS news has compared the intensity within krumping to what rockers experience in a mosh pit.[9] "If movement were words, krumping would be a poetry slam."[1] Krumping was not directly created by Tommy the Clown; however, krumping did grow out of clowning.[1][10][7] Ceasare Willis and Jo'Artis Ratti were both originally clown dancers for Johnson but their dancing was considered too "rugged" and "raw" for clowning so they eventually broke away and developed their own style.
[2] This style is now known as krumping. Johnson eventually opened a clown dancing academy and started the Battle Zone competition at the Great Western Forum where krump crews and clown crews could come together and battle each other in front of an audience of their peers.[3][9]
Template:Quote box David LaChapelle's documentary Rize explores the clowning and krumping subculture in Los Angeles. He says of the movement: "What Nirvana was to rock-and-roll in the early '90s is what these kids are to hip-hop. It's the alternative to the bling-bling, tie-in-with-a-designer corporate hip-hop thing."[11] LaChapelle was first introduced to krump when he was directing Christina Aguilera's music video "Dirrty".[2] After deciding to make a documentary about the dance, he started by making a short film titled Krumped.[2] He screened this short at the 2004 Aspen Shortsfest and used the positive reaction from the film to gain more funding for a longer version.
[2] This longer version became Rize which was screened at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and several other film festivals abroad.[12]
Aside from Rize, krumping has appeared in several music videos including Madonna's "Hung Up", Missy Elliott's "I'm Really Hot", The Black Eyed Peas' "Hey Mama", and Chemical Brothers "Galvanize".[8] The dance has also appeared in the movie Bring It On: All or Nothing, the television series Community, and the reality dance competitions So You Think You Can Dance and America's Best Dance Crew. Russell Ferguson, the winner of the sixth season of So You Think You Can Dance, is a krumper. The original web series The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers also featured krumping in season one during the fifth episode, "The Lettermakers".
Style[]
There are four primary moves in krump: jabs, arm swings, chest pops, and stomps.[6] Krumping is rarely choreographed; it is almost entirely freestyle (improvisational) and is danced most frequently in battles or sessions rather than on a stage.
Krumping is different stylistically from other hip-hop dance styles such as b-boying[8] and turfing. Krumping is very aggressive and is danced upright to upbeat and fast-paced music,[3] where as b-boying is more acrobatic and is danced on the floor to break beats. The Oakland dance style turfing is a fusion of popping and mimeing that incorporates storytelling and illusion. Krumping is less precise than these and more freestyle.[3] Thematically, all these dance styles share common ground including their street origins, their freestyle nature, and the use of battling. These commonalities bring them together under the umbrella of hip-hop dance.

KRUMP HISTORY
Krump is a dance style born in the early 2000’s in the inner cities of the Los Angeles County.
It is a high intensity dance that requires strength, power, control and a commitment to expressing raw emotions. The movements and facial expressions are often interpreted as anger, aggressiveness or even rage. However, after being familiarized with the dance, the average person will begin to notice and relate to the dancers’ expressions of passion, energy, physical and mental commitment. Krump is a freestyle type of dance: dancers spontaneously compose with dozens of codified basic movements and elements through an alter-ego. More than just a dance style, Krump is a culture in itself that consists of basic movements, music, terminology, a dress code, and many other aspects. The different forms of gatherings, such as battles, sessions, shows, and labbs (practice time), allow its practitioners to express themselves at different occasions. Krump was birthed and evolved in those settings. In its early stages, spiritual connotation was associated to the dance, which explains the acronym of Krump: Kingdom, Radically, Uplifted, Mighty, Praise.
THE ORIGINS OF KRUMP
In 1992, following the Watts riots, in an area marked by violence and drug-trafficking, Thomas Johnson aka Tommy The Clown created a movement called Clowning. It was a dance style designed to entertain kids at birthday parties, schools and community events. Clown dancers combined energetic and funny dance movements. Clowning became very popular with the youth and several Clown groups were formed. For some of its practitioners, however, that form of expression became limited. Clown dancers Ceasare ''Tight Eyez'' Wills and Jo'Artis ''Big Mijo'' Ratti decided to create their own language, one more aggressive and more powerful, with basic movements related to a raw language and essence. Tight Eyez and Mijo are now recognized as the creators of Krump. The emergence of this dance is narrated in the documentary RIZE, directed by Dave LaChapelle. The first Krump crew was called: Cartoonz. Tight Eyez, Mijo, Slayer, Miss Prissy, Lil C, are some of the important figures of the early Krump movement.
In its early years, Krump was more underground, and accessible via tutorial DVDs made by the creators and their proteges. The dance is now being practiced worldwide and is constantly evolving.
MONTREAL's KRUMP HISTORY
The Bzerk Squad was the first Krump crew in Canada. It was founded in Montreal in 2006 by the first Canadian Krumper and street dance veteran Otis ''Pez/Big Bzerk'' Hopson. Pez started learning the art of Krump at the end of 2003. A lack of accessible information made his learning process difficult. Despite the limited access to knowledge and ressources, his perseverance helped his dance evolve and he shared his passion for Krump with new dancers. Amongst the Bzerk members were co-founder Vladimir ''7Starr'' Laurore, Valerie ''Taminator'' Chartier, a veteran leader of Krump in Canada, Ja “Ozcar the Grouch” James Britton Johnson and Samuel ''Cursed'' Privé who became the last member of the crew. The Bzerk Squad established its name in Montreal by giving classes and workshops, building the Krump scene in Quebec and participating in several Krump-related activities across Canada.
The crew was active on stage, presenting Krump’s choreographic aspects while remaining true to the freestyle essence of the dance. Montreal Krump Alliance (MKA) is now the main leader in the province of Québec — a non-profit organization founded by 7Starr and co-founded by Taminator. Their mission is to promote and spread the Krump movement provincially and nationally.
In recent years, a new wave of Krumpers have been helping the Krump movement to grow to new heights. In particular, Kevin ‘’Jr MaddRipp’’ Gohou, from France, an international elite dancer (also member of the European pioneer Krump crew MADROOTZ) is now located in Montreal. His expertise in Krump has helped the advancement of the scene through his teaching, performances, battle skills and innovative showcases. Other veterans such as Yannice ‘’Vilain’’ Ouellet, Sonida ''Kid Triple C'' Horng & Arielle ‘’Craze’’ Veyintondolo are among the most involved contributors to the scene as well as other mentees training under the MKA members.
One of the MKA’s primary mandates has been to ensure Krump is recognized and accessible to the general public. Events such as Gutta Zone, The Clash, Krump Roots & The B.O.S.S have helped the development and exposure of that art form. Montreal Krump Alliance has energized the next generation, in order to ensure a strong future for the Canadian Krump movement. Many youth have joined the community and represent the future of the dance. The members of the Montreal Krump Alliance are constantly perfecting their art. They represent the Canadian scene by taking workshops and private training, and by participating in Krump events in Montreal, Canada, and around the world.
CANADA's KRUMP HISTORY
Coming soon!!!
draw emotions with the magic brush of dance
The turbulent nineties of the last century - what emotions were not born, what images did not emerge from the depths of the mysterious souls of creative representatives of the art world? Dance has always reflected the spirit of the times.
Therefore, it was during these years that the so-called street dances were born.
KRUMP: it doesn't matter where you are from
Los Angeles' colorful neighborhoods have been distinguished by their unusual dark charisma from the moment the city's outlines were drawn on the map of the continent. No wonder the mysterious shadows from the Spiritual Praise Absolute Power Realm were entwined into the acronym KRUMP. Broken lines fascinate, bursts of energy can enchant and drag you into a whirlwind of unconscious, but emotionally vivid action.
Naturally, the creators and connoisseurs of beauty could not ignore such creativity. First of all - directors and screenwriters. Krump is not just a dance, it is a whole philosophy of the street, which is able to give birth to its own world with the organic laws of the movement of the soul. Street dances are a symbiosis of the strict lines of the classics with unlimited freedom, letting the body fly. Choreographers are able to work wonders in productions, allowing dance to move from the streets to halls with a whimsical and demanding audience.
KRUMP: it's important how you dance
The sudden movements and interweaving of force vectors in Krump's battle can cause such a wave of emotions that it is difficult to describe the feelings of the audience. It was on such bewitching qualities that the sculptors of human souls decided to play - cinematographers. The most famous is the star of the world photo David LaChapelle.
Krumped: 2005 Sundance favorite
Monsieur LaChapelle received a standing ovation. Moreover, the grateful audience, fascinated by the magic of dance in the process of watching, gave the filmmaker a standing ovation. This is not just a finest hour - this is a true triumph! The inspiration for this cinematic dance masterpiece was Dirrty, a music video by the charismatic and novelty-minded Christina Aguilera. However, the final emphasis was not placed.
Rize: documentary expression
The first experience was extremely successful. Therefore, the talented Mr. David continued to actively promote Crump among the masses.
The outline of the dance develops according to the strict rules of emotions - from depression to sublime flight. It is this property that made this style mega popular in choreography. The documentary review is an attempt to explain the trends in society, which are expressed in movements comparable to complex mental impulses. It is for this reason that KRUMP did not bypass the attention of feature cinema.
A step forward: the enchanting charisma of modern choreography
Why a step forward? Because only the language of movements is available in any society. It can be spoken by both refined aristocrats and exuberant heads of "colored" areas of American metropolitan areas. This is the most democratic way of conveying thoughts and rapprochement between social strata. Therefore, the name of the film has a logical continuation - the Streets.
Kill Off in the rain by the lead choreographers Robert Hoffman and Brian Evigan really blew my mind! Movements imitating an anguished heartbeat are possible only in this style.
KRUMP is a state of mind poured into dance. It is difficult to overestimate the power of emotions in conditions of extreme nervous intensity!

"Krump from scratch"
Learn to dance Krump from scratch. And if you are an active dancer of a different style, then Crump will expand your technical capabilities and you will grow in X2 as a performer.
{Krump} is not aggression, it is the strength of the body and spirit that the dancer shows. It is impossible to tense up the whole body and at the same time leave the face relaxed.
Just as you can’t smile while lifting a heavy machine, you can’t help but use all your resources during a workout, including facial expressions. Therefore, from the side it often seems that the face of the dancer is anger and negativity. This is not true.
You'll never know what krump is and if it suits you until you try it!
