This aggressive and visually stunning dance modernizes moves indigenous to African tribal rituals. Tommy Johnson first created the style as a response to the 1992 Rodney King riots and named it Clowning, a form that was later developed into the movement known as Krumping. Used as a dance alternative to gangs and hustling, troupes paint their faces like warriors and meet to outperform rival gangs of dancers or just to hone their skills. A powerful, hypnotic documentary, and nice to see krumping outside exploitative pop videos.
