Cost: Free
"Has your booty fallen asleep to the refrain of the winter blues? Join King's County Cinema Society for a night of ass-shaking cinema and music videos. We're going to start the night off with a hot compilation of fast-paced and heart pumping soukous music videos, a fitting appetizer for Rize (2005, David LaChappelle), a documentary tracing the rise of a hyperkinetic dance known as krumping in East L.A with origins in a clown who shakes his sh!# in full clown regalia. The film splices scenes of African ceremonial dance with krumping as the similarities in syncopated arm flailing, hip rotating, and pelvic thrusting is inevitable."
