Clown Walk

The Clown Walk, also known as the C-Walk, is a dance usually performed to hip hop music. It is a form of the gang-related dance called the Crip Walk. Inspired by the Crip Walk, the Clown Walk was specifically designed as a dance and not a gang-related movement. While the style of the Clown Walk is very fast and very flashy, it does not focus on precision or clean walking. This style allows people to move how they feel and incorporate it into their dance, much like Krumping. Another form of Clown Walking is Crown Walking, which involves more flowing movements than the typical speed and flash.

Some basic movements in the Clown Walk are the V, Shuffle, Heeltoe, X-hop, Others, Wiggle Walk, and Gangsta Skip. Many “walkers”, as the dancers are referred to, like to slide, glide, moonwalk, and add variations to their walk.
