Public Moves introduces Krump as a street dance style that emerged around 1999 in Los Angeles, California. Krump serves as a way to express emotions and share stories through movement with other dancers – in sessions that create an atmosphere of support and exchange. Krump can take many forms: it is expression transformed into dance.

In this class, we explore the basics and foundations that have shaped krump into the dance style we know today.
