==Overview== The dance is primarily an act of performing quick and intricate footwork. The [[Crips–Bloods gang war|rivalry]] between the Crips and the [[Bloods]] spilled over into the world of entertainment, with the adoption of the gang dance by various [[rapper]]s on the [[West Coast of the United States]], who gave it its name, the ''Crip Walk''. This dance involves the movement of one's feet, often to the spelling of C-R-I-P. It was used by Crips at parties to display affiliation, particularly vis-a-vis rival gang the Bloods.<ref name="LAist">{{cite web |last1=Littlefield |first1=Dana |title=Serena Williams’ crip walk is more than a Drake dis.
