Honestly I am not offended at all, I expected this type of response.
Now I know in some of the videos, not EVERYONE in there is the best Godly example, i was able to recognize that. But you don't have to 'grab your krotch' or anything like that, honestly it is only 3 basic moves...and u develop your own style from there.
No they are not angry, and they are not out to beat anyone down and its not asking anyone to fight. The reason why the look that way is because it is so intense...when the spirit is movin, things get pretty heated.
The point of krumping is to bring glory to God, the reason people come to sessions is to not only get buck, but get buck for the Lord. The 'battles' you see mentioned are not to go out and cause these big beefs that you see rappers in the mainstream have...you call someone out to battle, to bring out the best in you. Yes it can be for competition at times, but generally, that is not the purpose for it.
There is no way to get Krump without bringing Christ in it...its how you get your power...your energy...your motivation...just like everyday life.
I mean maybe in surburban/rural areas it may seem like its just a bunch a people not knownin how to act...but its a true dance style that is comin up in the world, but like I live in the urban city of DC, and this is one of the tightest dance styles out here...tho a lot of people don't want to get into it because it is Christian based...and they dont want to be around a bunch of Christians
i am a 15 year old girl living in one of the urban parts of dc and i know for a fact that krumpin is not that hot in dc....dont get me wrong i like it and i like to do it but you wont hear a teenager saying "lets go to the krump battle at whatever place"....its just not gonna happen. most teenagers in dc are into gogo music and goin to gogo's. krumpin is not that hot in dc especially the urban part. and i need to know what church you go to and if it is in dc because i have never in my life seen people krump at church. lol i have been to a lot of churches in the urban areas of dc and havent seen it most of the dancing i see in church is shoutin and liturgical/praise dancin. if you go to church in dc let me know what church so i can go and see it for myself because i have never seen that.....but anyways krumpin is not all that hot in dc and if it is, you wont see most of the people krumpin in church because they probably dont know that it originated in church.
May be I'm a little stereotyped, and maybe I don't know much about Krumping, (actually, I'm hearing about it today, for the first time). Like every other cynic in this thread, I also feel that there the only emotion shown is anger. Could you refer me to some links that show how Krump all started? wikipedia says it's tighteyez, but I couldn't find anything else. Oh, and would Krumping be good to use in a church? if so, how? as a dance battle? or as a group dance (like every other dance)
Thanks y'all!

you should see them krumpin on stage..
praise God!!! Krump is amazing, here we dance alot and we have seen in our evangelism that God do a lot of things through Krump. guys keep doing it with all your heart! no matter what legalism or conservative mind can say about this, i think Krump is the same that liturgical dance... becouse we worship God with all of our body, and we do spiritual warfare without any fear! amen bro amen!
