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 ''Tig ht Eyez'' Wills and Jo'Artis ''Bi g 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 first Krump crew was called: Ca rtoonz. In its early years, Krump was more underground, and accessible via tutorial DVDs made by the creators and their proteges. They use the dance as an outlet.
Rather than joining a gang kids will join a dance group. When people see Krumping they often think it is violent. A Krumper said they are not fighting and in fact that is the last thing on their minds. It is just a part of the dance. The dancers feel safe when they Krump. Dancing is a comfort for those who have grown up in a violent neighborhood.
Battle — a dance competition where dancers compete against each other, taking turns. Session — format of dancing where participants form a circle and take turns in the center to dance. Those who have their own unique and unique krump dance style are called Buck.
People who copy others, in turn, are called Biters. Often, the words "Kill Off" are used in battles. This means "killing" an opponent in battle, that is, the performing of the most energetically charged and powerful part of the performance.
As you can see, krump, as a separate and independent dance direction, formed not so long ago. However, it has won the hearts of many dancers within just a few years. If you, like us, have fallen in love with Krump, subscribe to Instagram on the page of the main founder of Krump - Tight Eyez:. Krump is a street dance style characterized by sharp, jerky movements, aggressive execution, and expressiveness. It appeared in the early s on the streets of Los Angeles and was similar to a dance style known as clowning dance.
It is often performed by applying bright colors to the faces of the performers. While krump is aggressive, it is performed with the spouting of bad emotions and thoughts. Krumping actually sounds like something very interesting. I have seen the youtube videos where people make fun of the style of dance and I did think they were humorous. However, I did not know how serious the dance was and how much it meant to people. So thank you for bringing that to my attention. I think that it is great that people in impoverished areas can turn to something as simple as dance to make their lives just a bit better.
I never knew that Krumping was actually an acronym for anything. It is very interesting to read about where these different types of dance come from. Most forms of dance seem to come from a need to release a certain emotion. I believe that this is why dancing is so closely tied to passion; the emotion is in need of being expressed. If Krumping is such a free form of dance, how does one then separate it from other forms?
Is defining the exact dance you are doing even that important? The ball of energy idea is extremely helpful in imagine what this dance would look like. I really enjoyed that detail and you post in general. Have you continued in the dance club here at Penn State? Do they Krump? I honestly had no idea what Krumping was at all. I had heard of it, but that was about it. It is interesting to note that dance styles such as this actually have historical beginnings and can be traced back to a few individuals.
I think it is good to have these kind of activities, though, especially for kids in impoverished areas. Whether it is a sport, dance, or art, kids need something to reduce their amount of free time, as a correlation between free time and crime does exist.
