Thaaaaaaaat's Meeeeeeeee!(In Amanda Bynes voice)
If I've never said it before, I'll say it now. I am a dancer. I never really felt comfortable identifying myself as a dancer before because, well, I thought I sucked. I honestly didn't feel that it was fair to the world of dance if I identified myself as a legitimate dancer. However, as I continued to participate in dance at church I got more confident. So confident in fact that I now feel more comfortable saying I AM A DANCER! Lol
So now that step one is over, it's time for me to move on to step two; getting trained. Now I could continue to train just in contemporary, but nope. I decided that I want to challenge myself as a dancer (woah that felt cool to say...lol) and branch out into different styles of dance, starting with KRUMP. Now you may be asking yourself "Why krump? What the heck is it anyways?" and I would totally understand where you're coming from. Krump is probally the furthest thing from contemporary and is the craziest dance style out there, which is exactly why I wanted to learn. That and I'm practically surrounded by it!
See to me krump is not just a dance style. It's a fight, a tremendous display of both passion and love (for God that is). It's a powerful alternative to praising God rather than singing or praying. Krump has the power to completely intoxicate you with an overwhelming feeling of perserverance against the many attacks of the enemy. When I watch someone krump, I see someone who's both praising God while silencing the attacks of the enemy. This is exactly why I wanted to krump. (I hope that my elaborate descriptions made some lick of sense)
I know that krump is not going to be easy, even though it looks like it should. There are many components that go into it. You don't just go up there pretending to have a seizure, which is how most some somewhat simple-minded people see krump. I should know because I was one of them. But after recieving my first lesson/labbing for the first time with my big hommie aka teacher TERREL (insert shoutout here), I realized that there was a lot that I'm going to have to learn. But I'm up for it! It's going to be a long way off until you see me in the middle of a session with all eyes on me, but until then I'll be in the shadows during sessions @ 143 perfecting my skillz.
Until next time,
Kid Heave (btw that's my krump name)
P.S. watch some of these vids and just pretend that the people krumping are me
