and then you have
the krump dancing.

:22:02
It's like hygiene.
:22:03
Either you smell good,
or you don't.

:22:04
Either you krump, or you not.
:22:06
Basically,
we're from the inner city...

:22:08
what you would call it
the ghetto...

:22:09
you know, the lower parts
of Los Angeles...

:22:12
Watts, east side of L.A.,
Compton, Long Beach.

:22:14
We don't get the best
of everything.

:22:15
So what we do, we come together,
and we dance.

:23:09
We don't have
after-school programs.

:23:11
When you don't wanna
do football...

:23:13
because that's pretty much
the only thing...

:23:15
that you can do
in the inner city.

:23:16
There's always a football team.
:23:17
Because in the inner city...
:23:19
we're all thought of to be
sports players, you know.

:23:22
Everyone is not a sports player.
:23:23
Everyone
does not play basketball...

:23:25
and everybody
does not play football.

:23:27
There... Is there something
else for us to do?

:23:29
So what we did is...
is a group of us got together...

:23:33
and we invented this.
:23:34
In better neighborhoods...
:23:36
they have
performing arts schools.

:23:39
You have ballet,
you have modern...

:23:41
you have jazz,
you have tap...

:23:44
and this is all those
prestigious academies...

:23:46
you can go to.
:23:47
It's nothing like that
available to you...

:23:49
when you live where we live.
:23:51
I grew up around here...
Menlo, Normandie...

:23:55
I grew up in this area.
:23:56
It's real hard for kids like me,
'cause, OK, you have school.

:23:59
You go to school,
but you have gangbangers...
