Layout Provided By FreeCodeSource.com - Myspace Layouts ***I grew up working in Hollywood with some of the biggest names in the buisness by starting off as a dancer for hire in 80`s music videos.My skills were way ahead of my years and at 14yrs old,I found my self performing in front of the Jackson family at there Havenhurst mansion in Encino, California.That was such an awesome expierence because at that time just before the Victory tour,no one could get close unless invited.Michael Jackson wanted the family to see me and a friend Bruno Falcon(the guy in Breakin/electro rock)dance and so became a personal instructor job for Bruno and I. Now what is real interesting is you can see Bruno`s work in Michael`s steps by looking at Captin Eo and earlier stuff.Bruno and I used to work out together on steps so we mixed our styles and Michael would pick and choose what he wanted to do for the next video or concert solo.My first job with Michael Jackson was to improve his moonwalk which he performed for the world on the Motown 25th special.If you get the concert footage of the Victory tour you can see my contribution too his Billie Jean dance solo.From 1983-91 we worked on all kinds of different steps and sometimes we did not even have to practice because Michael is so smart ,he can look at a step and catch the rhythem and make his own expression of the step.This is much greater than my Turbo character in Breakin and I want my fans to know,when I was not dancing I was learning music and studying vocals for a recording career.Bambi Byrens my manager had mentored and guided me in the direction of music.We lost contact after 1988 and I continued to study music ,write songs,produce and even play guitar and a little piano.My band was called 4BYFUNK and we used to play at Madame Wongs in Westwood,Fm Station ,Burbank from 1990 to 91.I love singing just as much as dance and I hope God Blesses me with the respect and support from all my fans.Thank you all and enjoy the site!SincerelyMichael Shrimp Chamberswww.officialboogalooshrimp.com www.boogalooshrimp2001.com

My Interests

Learning from life and my mistakes and studying other cultures.I learned Breakdancing from Mr.Freeze from the movie Flashdance and studied floor moves for my second film but I always loved different styles like jazz,tap and salsa.My real influence was from the director Ray Harryhausen and his stop-motion effects.I would try to imitate his monsters,like Cyclops and the skeletons in Sinbad and Jason and the Argonauts.King Kong,Clash of the Titians and more recently the Matrix.Much respect to the B-boys and B-girls out there keeping the dream alive that our styles should be respected right up there with all the great dance styles for future generations.www.officialboogalooshrimp.com www.boogalooshrimp2001.com
