Krumpin'

[hmg]

Nearly a year ago, Channel 4 played a short film about a supposed new dance craze in LA: Krumpin'.

The short film was directed by David LaChappelle and, after a misleadingly homespun first half, seizes the floor with some of the most impressively hyperkinetic street dancing I've seen.

The question is, was it all a set-up, or is krumpin' a genuine scene?

And if it hasn't been said already, nice set-up in here.

was that the one where they all dressed up as clowns?
i remember not being sure if it was all an elaborate prank either
it seemed genuine,but there'd be the odd thing that didn't seem quite right

Yeah, it apparently started out as Clownin' and developed into Krumpin via Stripper Dancing, which is an even more hyperkinetic version of Butterfly.

Whatever the truth, the Krumpin' crew towards the end could certainly dance.
