Krump is a street dance style that emerged from the impoverished African-American neighborhoods of Los Angeles in the early 2000s. Born from social struggles and a need for emotional and spiritual release, it encourages people to express and process intense emotions such as anger, pain, and frustration. Through powerful movements like stomps, chest pops, and arm swings, Krump helps individuals reclaim their power and confront their struggles. In essence, Krump is not just a dance, but a powerful and cathartic tool for personal and community liberation.

Julien ‘Wrestler’ Adjovi is a key figure in the French Krump scene, with over 13 years of experience as a dancer, choreographer, and event organizer. He founded Krumpfest in 2017, an event that promotes Krump culture in Paris and opens it to a broader audience. As a master of ceremonies, he likes to educate spectators on the Krump “Hype” – the energetic crowd support that pushes dancers to perform with intensity and creativity.
