Underground Hip-Hop 'Krumping' Goes Mainstream (VIDEO)
Hey B-Boys, remember break dancing? Do you still ache to bust a move? Then check out krumping (also known as ‘clowning)), the high-energy dance sensation that started out underground and is quickly moving mainstream. Think free running and break dancing combined and you get the general idea.
You may have seen it featured in the movie Rize - krump battles, where dancers go head to head can now be seen in hip hop nightclubs near you.
And if you want to know the roots you should look to Thomas Johnson (aka Tommy the Clown) and the mean streets of South Central L.A.
Krumping—for those of you yet to see David LaChapelle's beautiful documentary, Rize—is a dance of raw self-expression. It arose from the mean streets of South L.A. It often pits dancer against dancer, shaking and gyrating and jumping off fences and chairs and getting aggressive and all up in each others' grills. The movement's motives are peaceful and positive but the dance itself can be highly confrontational. The energy expended by krumpers is super-human. And so is the speed of some of their moves.
Krump is a spinoff from the days of breakdancing, beatboxes, bboys, windmills, handstands, headspins
