Shake City 101: Krump Dance Video
Shake City 101 takes you into
the streets of Los Angeles to experience the excitement and true essence
of the hottest street dance since Break Dancing. The newest dance craze
phenomenon is known as Krump Dancing! You'll ride through South Central,
Venice Beach and Hollywood as the Shake City All Stars battle LA's elite
KRUMP dancers! Gizmo, Hurricane, Mijo, Tight Eyes, and Tsunami each take
time to (break down) their best moves, step by step, so you too can, "GETTCHA
KRUMP ON!" Krumping (also clown dancing or
clowning) is a style of dance that originated in the African-American
community of South Central Los Angeles. It involves elaborate
face-painting and freestyle dance moves usually performed in competition
with other crews. The underground movement soon spread to the rest of
California and beyond. Currently there are at least 50 clown dancing
groups. It has entered mainstream hip hop culture by the performance of
krumping in various music videos. Krumping is intended as an outlet for
anger and as a nonviolent alternative to the street violence widespread in
many of the areas where it is performed. Consequently, its dancing style
is fast and aggressive. It usually involves physical contact between
dancers, which can often look like a fight to outsiders. However, the
participants understand this to be part of the dance. While reminiscent of
sped-up break dancing, it transcends that genre, bringing in influences
from diverse sources, the prLBassNCminant one being African dance. A
competition structure has developed as dancers vie for championship belts
at contests. The dancers are organized into cliques (or tribes) that
engage in face-painting. The cultural significance of this painting has
moved beyond the clown image to symbolize ceremonial African war or dance
paint. 85 mins. (2005) DVD-All-Region.
