![]() You’ve seen this extraordinary dancer work with Lionel Ritchie on tour and in the “All Night Long” video. Whether or not you have seen “Breakin’” or “Breakin’ 2,” you have seen Michael Chambers, who began his career as a dancer when he was 16 with the stage name Boogaloo Shrimp. ![]() Documentary filmmaker Taylor Golonka recognized this occurrence by directing the recently released “ Boogaloo Shrimp,” a documentary film about Michael Chambers, who starred as “Turbo” in the 1984 movie and its sequel “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo.” This was done to spotlight Michael’s innovations in breakdancing and B-Boy culture, and to ensure a wider audience knows him. We recently acknowledged the 35 th anniversary of “Breakin’,” a truly iconic film that brought some of the best things of the 1980s – fashion, culture, dance – from the streets to the cinema. While the word is somewhat overused today, in Hip Hop we are appropriately selective with it. Things and people that are iconic are revered and idolized.
