What is Krump?
Krump is a style of street dance affiliated with Hip Hop that began in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, and is known for it’s intense rawness and controlled power. But despite the wild and seemingly rage-fueled intensity that embodies Krump, it actually has roots that are faith-based, as K.R.U.M.P. is an acronym that stands for Kingdom Uplifting Mighty Praise. The founders put spiritual meaning into the dance, saying that this dance praises God. For many followers, the spiritual element is also important in this dance.
Krump has helped individuals work through and witness personal and communal trauma, enact community building and spiritual resistance. They exemplify hip hop dance that works against discrimination and selective amnesia bound to questions of race, socio-economic marginalization, and gender. The dancers’ performances act as embodied narratives of “re-membering flesh”—retrieval and re-integration of traumatic memories and afflictions into memory through the body. Krump and Clowning also exemplify choreographies to speak up through body language in current cultural, socioeconomic and political contexts.
