Synopsis: Reveals a groundbreaking dance phenomenon that's exploding on the streets of South Central, Los Angeles. Taking advantage of unprecedented access, this documentary film bring to first light a revolutionary form of artistic expression borne from oppression. The aggressive and visually stunning dance modernizes moves indigenous to African tribal rituals and features mind-blowing, athletic movement sped up to impossible speeds. We meet Tommy Johnson (Tommy the Clown), who first created the style as a response to the 1992 Rodney King riots and named it Clowning, as well as the kids who developed the movement into what they now call Krumping. The kids use dance as an alternative to gangs and hustling: they form their own troupe and paint their faces like warriors, meeting to outperform rival gangs of dancers or just to hone their skills. For the dancers, Krumping becomes a way of life--and, because it's authentic expression (in complete opposition to the bling-bling hip-hop culture), the da

Just Clownin'. Platinum Clowns.

What's up?

There's No Comparison.

We're Nan Nutta.

Big X, you know what I'm sayin'?

A.k.a. Cereal Man,

you know, Froot Loop Man.

You know what I'm sayin'?

Rice Track Clowns.

Holler back.

Titanium Clowns.

I'd say about 50.

About 50 clown groups.

Different clown groups.

There's, like, over 50.

Basically,

it's a bunch of kids...

that do the stripper dance,

paint their faces like clowns...

and go put on a show

for a birthday party.

What's stripper dance?

What's the stripper dance?

What's the stripper dance?

I don't know where the stripper

dance just came from.

It just jumped into the air.

One day, I didn't even know.

Like, I went to a party...

and that was,

like, the new dance.

The stripper dance is like where

you open both of your legs...

and you bend like this.

And then you gotta be making

your butt bounce like that.

But it really be bouncin'.

It be like a lotta guys

be lookin', like...

"Oh, she's hot. She's bangin'."

So I do the stripper dance...

and I combined it

with a little clownin'...

so I do the stripper,

and I do it like this...

this just stripper plain.

But then I wobble with it,

like, wobble...

and that's the clownin'

and the stripper dance together.

'Cause I'm...

Anybody out in Los Angeles,

you have to be taught it.

Out here, it's a flow.

It's a vibe.

It's like a connection.

Everybody does it.

Everybody sees it.

We do everything.

We'll Harlem shake for you.

We'll bounce.

We'll do our little thing.

We'll do our little swingin'.

We'll put everything in it.

The bleach and

the little African clown walk.

We'll do it all.

The stripper dance

has everything in it.

I've seen some parents

see the little 4-year-olds...

out there poppin'

their booties...

and like, "I would never

let my daughter do that."

"Why? She's out there

having fun.

"She's not doing anything wrong.

She's not being sexual.

"There's nobody

out there with her.

"There's nobody touching her.

"She's out there poppin'.

What's wrong with poppin'?"

You have stripper dancing,

which we do not do.

Twerking.

You have... you have...

you have clown dancing...

and then you have

the krump dancing.

It's like hygiene.

Either you smell good,

or you don't.

Either you krump, or you not.

Basically,

we're from the inner city...

what you would call it

the ghetto...

you know, the lower parts

of Los Angeles...

Watts, east side of L.A.,

Compton, Long Beach.

We don't get the best

of everything.

So what we do, we come together,

and we dance.

We don't have

after-school programs.

When you don't wanna

do football...

because that's pretty much

the only thing...

that you can do
