:27:00
You're gonna be, like, "That has
to be the real thing...

:27:02
"because I will never see
anything like this again."

:27:04
When they dance,
you know it's on.

:27:06
Especially if you have somebody
that's wildin' out like...

:27:09
krumping themselves out.
:27:10
It gets the girls more amped...
:27:12
to get out there
and handle their business.

:27:14
Some of us may look gritty.
:27:15
Some of us may not have
the prettiest smiles.

:27:18
You know what I'm saying?
But we are krumping.

:27:20
That's the part
of what makes us krump.

:27:22
It seems
a little bit aggressive...

:27:23
but it's a good way
to take out your anger...

:27:25
when you go through stuff
in your personal life.

:27:27
But say people have problems...
:27:29
you know, didn't get this,
didn't get that.

:27:31
Short on this bill.
Short on that bill.

:27:33
Just the fact
that you can get krump...

:27:35
you can channel that anger.
:27:36
Anything negative that has
happened in your life...

:27:39
you can channel that
into your dancing...

:27:41
and you can release that
in a positive way...

:27:44
because you're releasing it
through art, the art of dance.

:27:47
This is our ghetto ballet.
:27:48
This is how
we express ourselves.

:27:49
This is the only way
we see fit of storytelling.

:27:52
This is the only way of making
ourselves feel like we belong.

:27:59
If I know someone is looking
at me, it's gonna be hard.

:28:02
Some people can't dance if they
have someone looking at them.

:28:04
But if you know there's a mask
sort of covering your face...

:28:08
you know, then you feel that
it's just you by yourself...

:28:11
and that your identity
is hidden...

:28:13
so you can dance
as freely as you want to.

:28:15
There's not just a bunch
of people acting wild.

:28:18
This is an art form.
:28:19
It's just as valid
as your ballet...

:28:21
as your waltz,
as your tap dance.

:28:23
Except we wouldn't have
to go to school for this...

:28:25
'cause it was already
implanted in us... from birth.
