Krumping vs. Breaking in Sydney
November 2nd 2006 20:44
When Krump first got into the mainstream, establishing itself as another form of Hiphop expression, many looked down upon the emerging style the way technically trained dancers and the general public did on bboys when breaking first came out.
People were quick to compare this new, raw form with other styles that have been around longer, mostly Bboying. There was the misrepresentation in the documentary "Breaking versus Krumping" which set off a lot of bboys hatin' on and rejecting the new 'dance' style.
After much sh*t talking and b*tching, mostly online in forums and blogs, Krumping has become more accepted in mainstream Australia.
Recently, representatives from both sides of Bboying and Krumping in Sydney gathered for a demonstration battle between the two very different styles. It was more for show, for fun and to raise money to send the Bboys to Freestyle Session in Japan, (which is not possible anymore due to lack of funds).
Maya Jupiter and crew from Channel V turned up thanks to Darrio's connections and spoke with the main man behind Krumping, Jeremy of Ozbboy.com and Unique (Mel - Caramell).
An event like this is just a great way to jam, to meet and mingle with other dancers and hopefully to raise money to support future urban dance events which don't get any funding down here in Oz.

krumping has Christian roots, would be interested to know if there are any krumpers out there who do it as a battle as a defense against spiritual warfare and or perform in churches?
krumping in australia has only been around for a few years, but it seems to be closely related to bboying/break dancing....... are dancers open to this style? haven't seen it much here in clubs or anything?
just like to add, with God, anything is possible! pray you guys make the freestyle championships whenever they come around again, if it is in His will and you and your crews share one belief and faith for this.
God bless you x
