Clown walk? I've only heard of Crip Walk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crip_Walk

"It is also largely believed that the C-Walk was used as a warning to other gangs of a future attack by the Crips, or as a signal in a robbery. For example, the lookout would stand outside of the store and act as surveillance, while the robbers would lay in wait and await the signal: the C-Walk. Allegedly, Crips would also C-Walk after shooting or killing a rival gang member in celebration." - Wikipedia

It's interesting how the Crip Walk evolved from a gang sign used by criminal thugs to a gangsta rapper dance to this. Next step is legitimate academic recognition as a form of urban tap dance.

It reminds me of the myth of the "noble savage", because an observer from far enough away might marvel at the dance, song, and ritual that these mythical "Crips" from "Compton" created, without realizing they were instruments of a brutal culture.

we call it DDR in Asia.

yah it's pretty interesting, it originated as the Crip walk by the Crip gang, but then developed into the Clown Walk in order to distance itself from it's gang related origins and is meant to be for fun
