Krumping

Krumping is an energetic, expressive style of street dance characterized by intense and exaggerated movements such as stomping, chest thrusts, arm swings, and rapid footwork. Originating in South Central Los Angeles in the early 2000s, it serves as a form of emotional release and self-expression, often performed in a circle called a "crib." Krumping emphasizes raw emotion, creativity, and individual style, making it both a dance and a cultural movement that promotes community and personal empowerment. Its vigorous and dynamic nature reflects resilience and the desire to transform complex feelings into powerful movement.
