The Crip Walk, or C-Walk, is NOT, as many assume, a dance, but rather a walk. Although in many respects it is like a dance, it is to Crips gang members nothing more than a ritual. It originated in the early 1980s in South Central Los Angeles as a symbol for Crips of the area and was a staple of hip hop culture by the late 1990s.
Originally, members of the Crips would use nimble movements of their feet to spell out their names or other pro-Crips words (sometimes spelling out Bloods, the name of their rival gang, and then crossing it out). Many Crip gangs also use a C-Walk ceremony to celebrate the initiation of a new member.

A movement traditionally performed by a gang known as the Crips, to distinguish between fellow Crip members and rival Blood gangmembers, C walking is usually characterized by foot motions known as gliding, the V, heel toe, the shuffle, and variations and combinations of the above. The gang affiliation has almost lost all meaning, as c walking has become almost mainstream in many urban and suburban areas.
C walking is commonly referred to as a dance, but traditionalists and crips will get offended at this common mislabel, and might bust a cap in your ass.

1. Snoop Dogg used to be a crip, but I've never seen him C walk.
2. That white boy thinks he can C walk, but it looks like he's trying not to fall on a freshly waxed tile floor.

Not a dance move, the c-walk was originated by Crips to taunt and insult the Bloods, it was also done when they murdered a person they would c-walk ta represent there set. C-walk course short for Crip Walk. The c-walk is movement in your feet ta give people the idea that yer floating. Crips usually spell out the name of there set with there feet. DONT C-WALK UNLESS YER A CRIP ITS NOT A DANCE

They are three styles of c-walk.
1.Crip Walking - The Crip Walk, also known as the C-Walk, is more like a walk then a dance.Originated in the early 1970s by the Crip Gang from Compton, a suburb of Los Angeles, California by Crip gang members.Crip Walk moves consist of basic V, Shuffle and freestyle.(Shoes for Crippin - Converse,Nike Air Force 1.)
2.Clown Walking - The Clown Walk (also known as the C-Walk) refers to a modern dance style. It is a variation of the popular Crip walk. Clown Walking was created to distance the relationship between the dance style and the Crips gang. It's a form of dance that "evolved" from the Crip Walk. It is usually faster than Crip Walking.
Clown Walk moves consist of basic V, Shuffle, Heeltoe, Snake heeltoe, xhop.(Shoes for Clownin - Nike Cortez,Addidas Superstar)

A complicated footwork non-dance that requires lots of skill. Not necessarily related to Crips.
There are three types of c walk.
Crip
Clown
Crown.
Not all c-walkers are crips. As a matter of fact, crip walk is a lot more slow and boring than the others.
C-walking is a lifestyle.
