Krumping

Krumping is a global culture that evolved through African-American street dancing popularized in the United States during the early 2000s, characterized by free, expressive, exaggerated, and highly energetic movement.

[4] Krumping was created by dancers: Ceasare "Tight Eyez" Willis, Marquisa "Miss Prissy" Gardner, Christopher "Lil' C" Toler and Jo'Artis "Big Mijo" Ratti in South Central, Los Angeles, during the early 2000s.

[10] In contrast, krumping focuses on highly-energetic battles and dramatic movements which Tommy the Clown describes as intense, fast-paced, and sharp.

[16] Krumping’s global spread owes much to the efforts of key figures like Christopher “Lil C” Toler and Marquesa “Miss Prissy” Gardner.

Lil C’s appearance as a judge on So You Think You Can Dance brought Krumping into the homes of millions worldwide, further solidifying his role as an ambassador of the style.

[5][6][7] Aside from Rize, krumping appeared in several music videos including Missy Elliott's "I'm Really Hot”, The Black Eyed Peas' "Hey Mama", Chemical Brothers' "Galvanize" and Madonna's "Hung Up".

[citation needed] There are five basic moves in krumping: stomps, jabs, chest pops, Buck hop, and arm swings.
