Joshua Washington

I started dancing in the early 2000s—like many, inspired by the energy of You Got Served—but Krump became my foundation in 2006. Since then, my journey has taken me from Florida to Alaska, where I studied dance theory in college while deepening my Krump roots. I’ve been teaching since 2011, merging structured technique with freestyle freedom. Along the way, I’ve battled across the country, performed with collegiate teams, and helped build spaces for freestyle and Krump to thrive—even in cities where choreography dominates the scene. I studied dance theory in college while developing my Krump craft, which shaped how I teach: I give folks the tools to understand, embody, and own their movement. Whether I’m preparing a student for their first session, judging a tournament, or leading a community class, it’s all about helping people show up realer than they came. My mission is simple: culture builds community, and community builds people. Whether you’re stepping into Krump for the first time or looking to sharpen your voice as a mover, I’m here to help you find it—and feel it.
