Description: |
Krump; an urban street dance, is characterized by free, expressive, exaggerated and highly energetic movement. Krump was created by several youth from Los Angeles who were seeking to escape gang life and to express raw emotions in a powerful but non-violent way. A movement that started in a living room, is now all over the world. Students will learn the history, the fundamentals of Krump which consist of 4 main basics: Stomps, Arms, Chestpops, and Grooves and the terminology associated with the dance, such as battles, sessions, call-outs, get-off, kill-off, material, combos, hype and many more. Students will be evaluated through reflective writing, vocal quizzes, a mini-research project, video viewing, discussions and participation within the class, and attendance and responses to workshops and performance events on campus outside of class time. |
