Michael Chambers
Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers (born November 13, 1967) is an American dancer and actor known for his role as "Turbo" in the 1984 cult classic film ''Breakin''' and the 1984 hit sequel ''Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo''. In both movies he is credited as Boogaloo Shrimp, a name that remains inextricably linked to the Hollywood phase of popping, boogaloo and robot dancing also the freestyle art of b-boying. During the height of the popularity of those movies, he (along with his ''Breakin''' co-star Adolfo "Shabba Doo" Quiñones and other dancers from the film) is prominently featured in the 1984 music video for Chaka Khan's song "I Feel for You".
==Early life and influences==
Born in Long Beach, California, Michael is the youngest of 4. He grew up in a small town but a community with a diverse mix of ethnic groups and cultures. Initially, he formulated his unique style of dance through his interest in fantasy and sci-fi television shows, including the work of Ray Harryhausen and other stop-motion experts. He credits his older brother with introducing him to his first "moonwalk" a move he would later perfect, and share with pop superstar Michael Jackson.
While still a teenager, Chambers' older brother would take him to a local pier where he would perform his moves for money. He claims to have earned hundreds of dollars through his street performances, leaving many to wonder "who was this kid!?" To solve the problem of anonymity, Michael's sister gave him a jacket that read "Mike aka Boogaloo Shrimp" hence his street dancing name. Michael's dancing would increasingly draw the attention of promoters, and particularly the eye of Adolpho "Shabba Doo" Quinones, who was seeking to form a new dance troupe after the breakup of his previous group The Lockers.
Chambers would also meet other popping/dance legends during this time, including Bruno "Poppin' Taco" Falcon and Popin' Pete. Taco and Shrimp would go on to share ideas and styles, building upon solid foundations that both possessed. Both would later be featured in videos and movies, including Breakin'.
