Rize up and get krump - a new style of dance
May 19th 2006 00:30
From the ghettos of LA, Krump dancers emerged after branching off from Clowning, another art form created by Tommy The Clown which is often mixed up with the former.
Darrio gets krump
There are correlations between krumping and traditional African tribal dances, as a spiritual, raw and highly energetic form of self-expression; is not aggressive, it is not violent.
In Australia, there are few who can krump and even fewer who can teach it (if at all). There's much speculation about the validity of these teachings and the quality of the dancers; what I see is that Krumping is now a fad, something that a lot of people think they can do easily by pumping their arms and chest really fast and adding booty shaking and stripper dancing to the mix. WRONG.
The best way to learn is by going to krumpkings.com and reading up on it, order the DVDs so you get educated directly by some of the founders. Those who would like to learn in person, the man in Australia to go to is Darrio of darriostreet.com. He is based in Sydney but will be doing Brisbane and Melbourne workshops in the next few months.
To those who consider themselves Krump dancers in Australia, most of you have no idea. What y'all are doing is Krump-inspired dancing, which is cool, but as long as you got your facts straight.
Me getting buck
I used to get buck (which means "to krump"), but now circumstances in my life have changed and I don't feel enough anger and frustration to be able to vent it through krumping, and the whole commercialisation of it all had turned me off.
To check it out, here are some clips of the founders getting buck.
