ladies and gentlemen, lemme introduce what on earth 'krump' is.. wahaha, after some research, well..... here is what i found out.
*Krumping is relatively new urban street dance-form that began in South Central Los Angeles and is characterized by free, expressive, and highly energetic moves involving the arms and chest. It has become a major part of hip hop dance culture.
*Krump is one of the dance style similar in form and practice to traditional weapon dances, and for this reason is considered by many African-American krumpers to be symbolic of, or referential to, their tribal roots. Dance "battling," a form of dance where competitors face-off in a direct and aggressive competition, is an integral component of krump in a similar way to the earlier breakdance battles, with "dissing" (mocking), and heightened moments of frantic, aggressive arm and chest movements (known as "buck" moves) being common.
and this is the cool part....it even has CHRISTIAN ELEMENT!
*For many participants there is a strong Christian spiritual element to the dance. "Tight Eyez", a key early figure and now krump teacher, regularly speaks of Christian healing and gives praise to Jesus for the upbringing of this movement. The backronym "Kingdom Radically Uplifting Mighty Praise" is now often used by him, and this usage has spread widely.
*Krump families stick together, because being in a Krump family makes up for everything youths don't have in the ghetto, and gives them a safe place to thrive outside of gang life.
*Krump even has its own language, with words such as:
Get Buck: means to step up your moves a notch. You must be able to do this to succeed in a battle.
Get Amped: The next level of intensity. Movements should be off the hook, and off the walls.
Beasty: aggressive and beastlike
Goofy: animated and comedic krump
Hipolymer: copy cats who steal moves
Labbin: practicing tricks for a battle
Kill off: a combination of moves that end a battle, like the grand finale.
