Krumping
HISTORY
Krumping is a street dance the evolved from Clown Dancing or C-Walking. It originates in Los Angelas, California in the South Central neighborhood. It is impossible to talk about Krumping and its history without mentioning Clowning.
Clowning started in 1992 when Tommy the Clown started attending birthday parties as entertainment. He was the hip-hop dancing clown. He had kids young and old alike droppin’, poppin’,, and rollin’ with it. Tommy is a ghetto celebrity that helped his community by being a role model and acting as a father figure for many young dancers.
The clowning movement took off and today there are over 50 clowning groups. There are the House of Clowns, Cartoon Clowns, World Wide, No Comparison, Titanium, and Rice Track to name few. A clown group entertains, shows up to parties, and performs in shows. These clown groups feel they are doing something positive in a place where there is a lot of negativity.
Krumping came about when young Clowns got older and started to drift away from Tommy the Clown and his philosophy. They wanted something new and original, something they could call their own. They wanted to express themselves and felt they needed something different than “commercial hip-hop” that was gaining more attention in the media.
For a lot of Clowns and Krumpers it is the dance that they felt kept them alive. 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. You can get pushed in your dance or battle but you don’t think anything of it. 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.

FUTURE
We have seen the future of Krumping played out today. Many dancers from Southern California have gone from clowning to krumping and on to other, new styles of dance. Jerkin’ is one of the dances that some Krumpers have moved to. Each street dancer will take a style and adapt it to his or her own style to make it his or her own. This is how new styles of street dance evolve.
Krumping came about because dancers Tight Eyez and Big Mijo wanted to do something original and this is exactly how these dances keep progressing forward. They are always pushing new ideas and encouraging each other to be innovative.
