	Krumping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Krumping is a form of dancing that originated in the African-American community of South Central Los Angeles, California and is a relatively new form of the "Urban" Black dance movement.
		"Krump" or "Krumping" is an evolution of the "Clowning" or "Clown-dancing" style or manifestation of the Black Dance movement.
		Krumping was featured in the second episode of the eleventh season of MADtv.

	.....krumping.....
		Most krump crews are fl, but many are Asian, like the Rice Track Family, or white or Latino; they are allied less by race, as it happens, than by economics and their commitment to an unlikely form of art.
		A krump session always involves one of these showdowns, in which two dancers meet inside a circle and take wild posturing runs at each other, mock attacks that are both martial and balletic.
		Tight Eyez is a star of the underground krump circuit (and of LaChapelle's film), for reasons as simple as the elegant intensity of his dancing -- which he has been doing since his early teens, both solo and in the Remnant, his own crew -- and his harrowing biography.

	Tuberaider Video: Krumping Video (Featuring Little Kid Krumping) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Krumping (not Krunk-ing) is often confused with Clowning, the two are related by form and origin, and vaguely by style, but differences are visible.
		Krumping, however, is a more sinister and aggressive dance form, and is intended as an expression of anger, or a release of reservoired/"pent-up" emotion, through violent, exaggerated, and dramatic moves.
		This was during the infancy of Krump as an art form separate from Clowning, and thus the footage was from a time when the krump kings themselves were actually evolving from clowners into krumpers as we now know them, and their modified use of face paint served as a visual indication of this.

		Krumping is a street dance born in South Central Los Angeles as an offshoot of clowning, a dance created in the early '90s.
		In the documentary, krumping is seen at its best when done competitively, in ''battle zones" where crews of clowners and krumpers, some wearing colorful face paint, go head to head and improvise the moves, which consist of pushing, posturing, and popping.
		In addition, krumping transcends gender and age and can bring fractured communities under one step, whether on the streets, in the club, or in someone's kitchen, the way break dancing did in the '80s.

	Fluxuries.com \| Hi!-Fashion portal. News: Krumping, the new dance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Informed equally by hip-hop, African tribal rituals, pantomime and martial arts, krumping is a frenetic, hyper fast-paced dancing style.
		Dancers gather in school grounds, parking lots, and yards to perform and “battle dance” each other; participants are typically vocal opponents of violence, thus making the krumping scene an alternative to the gang wars that plague the areas where krumping is popular.
		While authentic krumping is fuelled by an intensity that would probably be found intimidating by most of mainstream America, we wouldn’t be surprised to at least see it find its way to other urban areas.
