The life story of Michael Chambers, the American dancer, and actor also known as “Boogaloo Shrimp.” Michael is most renowned for his role as “Turbo” in the 1984 cult movie “Breakin’” and its sequel “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo.” He also worked one-on-one with superstar Michael Jackson and shares stories about his experiences in the documentary. Michael shares his extraordinary journey as a dancer, choreographer, actor, singer, comedian, host, and speaker. We learn how he started out as a child star playing “Turbo” in the movie “Breakin” with the legendary “broom” scene, and in “Breakin’ 2” with the iconic bedroom scene, where he dances on the walls and the ceiling. Michael also talks about how, still as a teenager, he went on tour with Lionel Richie and appearing in his music video “All Night Long". A master of liquid animation dance with his famous popping, ticking, waving, not to mention the backslide “moon walk”, Michael has a fascinating story to tell.
