Krumping is a relatively new form of dance within the “urban” and street dance movements, and is characterized by free, expressive and highly energetic moves. The form is attributed as having originated in the community of South Los Angeles.

Krumping may be graded by level of difficulty, including Krump, Buckness or Getting Buck, and Ampness or Amped. In recent years, the still evolving dance has been codified into stylistic subcategories:

• Beasty: Aggressive, beast-like and powerful. It is similar to bully but more animalistic. Believed to have originated with the Slayer family,
• Bully: Aggressive and powerful.
• Caddy: Arrogant and conceited.
• Cocky: Conceited and stuck up.
• Fast: Quick, energetic movements.
• Flashy: Using a lot of quick foot movement and sharp, precise, showy moves.
• Placid: Using a low amount of energy and keeping most of the moves tight and close to the body,
• Goofy: Pioneered by the krump practitioner “Goofy” himself. It is the least aggressive of the krump styles, usually funny and energetic.
• Grimey: Dirty, mistreating, and “wrong”.
• Jerk: Using motions that are not smooth and flowing but still artistic.
• Rugged: containing fewer tricks; more of a pure essence
• Technical: a mix of flashy and smooth. It’s more of a crowd pleasing style.
• Tricks: Using a combination of moves
• Sexist: Using the opposite sex to show possession.
• HiPolymer: Refers to the copy cats who steal moves.
• G Mix*:Mix of power and flashy/ground movments
