Wacky new dance craze: krumping


Wacky new dance craze: krumping 04/27/2004 05:32 PM
MTV dictates:
We've been deprived all these years. We've never seen Krusty the Clown popping his booty, Ronald McDonald never C-walked, and Bozo ... forget about it. He could probably barely do a jig, let alone shake his whole body like an enraged zombie from "28 Days Later."

Well, the dark ages are over. There's a group of California clowns doing the thang. We've gotten a potent dosage of clown dancing -- or krumping, as it's called -- in videos such as Missy Elliott's "I'm Really Hot" and the Black Eyed Peas "Hey Mama." Now the ringleader of the crunk circus act says the mainstream had better look out, because he's bringing more than balloons and giant shoes. The krumping era just may be upon us.
