It was fun, and I felt like still a normal guy and came back to the areas I grew up: Southbay of Los Angeles and East Los Angeles disco, funk party areas.
Is it true the cast and crew had such a good time with you that they wrote another robot episode just to get you back on set? Well, after the media labeled my dance art as a passing fad and people started saying my character was a NYC wannabe reject, I realized I wanted to do other projects that highlighted my signature dance style. Michael Jackson and I had worked out during the Victory Tour in , which he filmed the session, and was able to master what he learned at that time.
I have to admit it hurt a bit not getting credit on paper for my work with him, so when the Bart Simpson project came up I specifically asked Mr. Jackson if I can be credited for my work and my agent Julie McDonald got the contract and to this day I am on the record for working with Mr. I was very pleased because this mystery of who was teaching Mr. Jackson now started to unfold, since I was listed as the choreographer. The director, Rich Correll, and the producers of the Family Matters TV show were very happy with the ratings, so they called me back for a second episode.

His dance style, which he tagged "liquid animation," soon caught the eye of other dancers, and he got the opportunity to work with notable acts in the music industry such as Madonna, Three 6 Mafia, and Michael Jackson. After he was featured in a street dance segment on Hollywood Boulevard, Chambers' moves caught Michael Jackson's attention, who then invited Chambers to his choreography session to learn some moves from him.
According to Chambers, his sessions with Michael Jackson started when a talent coordinator invited himself and another dancer Poppin Taco to the Jackson compound, where they both showed off their dance moves and started teaching Michael Jackson some techniques.
Chambers said :. Although Poppin Taco went on to become Michael Jackson's choreographer for 18 years, Chambers often met up with the crew and shared dancing styles and techniques, which helped Michael Jackson perfect some of his notable moves like the moonwalk. Chambers was born in Long Beach Island , California, and got the "Shrimp" part fo his stage name from his father, an ex-Air Force military man who had raised his family in Wilmington.
The other part , "Boogaloo," came from the New Orleans area and was typical for breakdancers. He was one of the first street dancers to make it to the White House when he got an invite from former first lady Nancy Reagan.
