CONTENT
The 7Skopez krump class is an all-levels class that dives deep into the essence and complexity of krump culture. Krump is an ever-evolving freestyle dance that requires a good understanding of our mind, body & basic movements related to this dance.
Throughout this semester, we will explore the foundations of this dance through three important components:
– The exercises (“drills”)
– The philosophy of the session and the “battles”
– Video analysis
This is a 2 hour class where we seek, first and foremost, to give you an authentic Krump experience.
Class structure
• The class starts with a 15 min cardiovascular warm up
• Followed by 25 minutes of Krump-related strengthening exercises conditioning organized in a circuit format. Our goal is to strengthen the body and make people understand the importance of conditioning considering that krump is a very physical artform
• We then move on to the technical basics and drills. We believe that repetition is important and will lead to the learning of small combos and choreographic sequences
• We always finish the classes with a session to allow the participants to express themselves and interact with one another
Other important information
• Krump classes are loud so if you have hearing problems, please be aware
• Shoes are required
• Please bring your own bottle of water
• The registration form signature is mandatory if you want to participate
• The class requires heavy impact on the floor and sudden movements. People with injuries or physical disabilities that prevent them from doing this type of movement should discuss this with the teacher.
