A style of dancing consisting of various chest pops, stomps, and arm swings. It is used to express one's feelings towards another through dance rather than violence. Please don't confuse krumping with clown dancing.

Get the krumping mug.Throughout the frigid winters of a time when Jim Crow laws were still in action, black people were not invited into warm restaurants, houses, hotels, and public buildings. They suffered a horrible life of cold, sickness, and boredom UNTIL ONE DAY they devised a way to eliminate these three problems that plagued their dark skinned lives.
These AfroAmericans soon realized jittering around near each other as if in a state of epileptic seizure solved all three of these issues. It not only provided warmth through rapid movement and shared body heat within a tight communal circle, but most importantly would attract the attention of moral, medical personnel to take them into the nearest hospital emergency rooms and allow them free healthcare. Soon enough, the young found great entertainment in painting their faces and escalating the game to receive free psychiatric evaluation.
This was before black people discovered fire.

Get the Krumps mug.A dancing style not dissimilar to how a mountain goat might react whilst undergoing extensive knee surgery. The 'krumper' experiences no pain however, unless they are skilled in the art of clowning, the audience may feel like they have just been munged.
I feel no hesitation in crowning him king of the goats, for his krumping efforts are truely supreme.
