and is characterized by free, expressive, exaggerated, and highly energetic moves involving the arms, head, legs, chest, and feet (seen in movies like: Stomp the Yard, Step Up 2, and the documentary Rize). Jessica will be incorporating some basic krumping moves with hip-hop choreography to create a fun, energetic routine. So be sure to bring some attitude and a good pair of sneakers for stomping! :)
