Krump (Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise) is an expressive, highly energetic street dance style that originated in the early 2000s in South Central Los Angeles. Known for its raw intensity and emotional power, krump was created as a positive outlet for anger, frustration, and personal expression. Krump is characterized by sharp, aggressive, and exaggerated movements—punches, stomps, chest pops, arm swings, and expressive gestures that can look chaotic but are rhythmically precise. Core elements include Stomps, Chest pops, Arm swings, Jabs, and Buckness. Krump dancers often form families or crews led by a “Big Homie” who mentors younger dancers or “Lil Homies.”
