It is danced in battle or session, rather than on stage
Krump is different from other Hip Hop styles of dance, such as 'B-boying' and 'Turfing' because it is more aggressive upright, and fast-paced.
B-Boying is is more acrobatic, inverted, and to the floor.
Turfing, a style originating in Oakland, California, consists of popping and miming to tell a story.
Krumping is almost always free styled and never choreographed.
