Community Krump Project Summary: The purpose of my project is to help the community by giving children and adolescents from underprivileged and dangerous neighborhoods an alternative to the “street life.” I will be introducing them to the world of Krump dancing by giving lessons at a community center in North Philadelphia. Krump will be the main dance that I teach. Krump was originally invented to give the youth in South Central Los Angeles a means of staying off of the streets and out of gang life. I have been krumping myself for about two years and have plenty of experience and knowledge as to what the benefits of krumping are and how it can help a community. This project will serve the community of North Philadelphia. It includes children and adolescents from approximately ages four to seventeen who choose to be there in order to escape the pull of the street life that more and more children are falling into in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is only getting worse with its problems and needs us to fix it. I plan on helping to do this by stopping it before it starts, in the minds of the younger generation.
