Certified Krump Dance Battle

For a few of you, that title already has a few of you wanting the details. For the rest of you, we'd highly recommend that you check out the beautifully shot (yet awkwardly paced) documentary Rize (film trailer), which tells the story of some major players involved with the South Central L.A. dance phenomenon. Having seen the movie, we couldn't help but to be excited about seeing the poster for a krump competition on Wednesday at the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center. We don't know if this has really caught on in Seattle the same way it has in South Central (Youtube shows that the dance has gone international), but with a $500 cash prize on the line, Seattlites will be giving it the best they've got. Here's the copy from the poster:
