During the 6th edition of RIDCC (Rotterdam International Duet Choreography Competition), a free pop-up Krump workshop will be offered in collaboration with The Gully District. The workshop will be given by none other than Ques, the Dutch pioneer of Krump and founder of The Gully District.
On Saturday, June 22, from 4:30-5:30 p.m., you can participate in this free Krump workshop. Krump originated around 2000 in Los Angelos, California and is known for its intense, emotional and expressive movements. The name K.R.U.M.P. stands for "Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise," and is a narrative energetic way of expression. The workshop will take you into the world of Krump and teach you the essence of the dance style. Ques will get down to the basics of it and make sure you are nice and sweaty by the end. The workshop is open to youth, young adults and adults from a variety of cultural backgrounds and social classes. Dance experience is not necessary. Everyone is welcome to join in!
Michael Zaalman aka Ques has had a career in dance for nearly two decades. As a Krump pioneer in the Netherlands, he was one of the first Krump dancers in Europe. Among other things, he has participated and judged in all kinds of (inter)national battles and has taught classes at a variety of dance schools and academies. He has also been, and still is, part of various media and theater productions, including Club Guy & Roni, NITE, "The Underground.
The Gully District is a socio-cultural and artistic platform. The 'itinerant' dance school in Rotterdam North with a home base is in Het Klooster Oude Noorden. Dance, and in particular the dance style KRUMP 'Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise' is essential for personal (and collective) development.
