Hi,



I just saw a little bit TV and then they taked about a modern dance coming up from the USA. There was a guy clothed like an clown. They taked about crowning (sorry for any writen mistakes) and I saw that the guys were dancing like the one black child in the music video from push the button. Does anybody knows more about crowning an where to learn that stuff. Looking great when u are battling someone ;-)

It's not crowning (crowning is when either (a) a woman is about to give birth, and the top, or "crown" of the babies head is showing from her vergina ("Look, she's blowing a bubble!") or (b) when you have to crap so bad that the turd is starting to poke out of your ass and it's so large it feels like you're about to give birth).



What you're talking about is Clowning. Did the show you watched have a japanese announcer? 'And now, for the crown dancing! It's vely roverly, the crown dancing!'



The more extreme, aggressive version of clowning is called crumping or sometimes krumping.



There's a movie called Rize that's all about both forms of dance, and is pretty amazing to watch.

Yeah, definately check out 'Rize'.... the film has a disclaimer at the start, saying that there are no special effects used, and it needs it, because the way some of the people move is unreal.

Dude, if you're limber and strong man.... and young... you might be able to try. I don't know if there are any 'how-to' videos out there.

That reminds me, we saw a few people doing that in Fabric on Friday night - surreal and kinda scary to be standing 2 feet away

One thing I noticed in the movie Rize is that Clowning had more fluid movements, almost graceful while Krumping movements were a lot more jerky and agressive. Both styles are agressive but Krumping moreso. Except for Miss Prissy, she fuckin rocked - she was a Krumper but her classically trained ballet background brought a lot of fluidity and grace into her dance.
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

Holy... I saw the movie 10min ago and what could I say?! Amazing! The movements are more than realistic there are spectacular. I think I gone start some tryouts soon. This should work. I like progessiv House, The Chemical Brothers, I like it hard, so why not get it fix. Well I keep an eye on some dance or Hip Hop acedemys around here. Prety cool styl. Thanks for Push the Button to show up this styl. Jesus, let's start the workshop!
