CHAIN REACTION
CHAIN REACTION DANCE GROUP
(Established in 1974 Cool Pockets, Deuce, T-Bopper & Bosco. )
Chain Reaction Dance Group started in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County in the early 1970's Thomas "T-Bopper" Guzman-Sanchez based his style on a cross formation where everything had to be clean movement. As the group developed, it was the unison routines and this clean Doubled Up style of Locking that set them apart. He also changed the terminology and in 1974 introduced the word BREAK to describe the dance move originally called a LOCK. This word eventually evolved to be used as a descriptive word for the "act of dancing." "Cool Pockets" Chain Reaction 1975 Paul "Cool Pockets" Guzman-Sanchez would take the Doubled Up Locking style to new levels with multi directional points and Bob "Bosco" Winters developed an off time syncopated style that made him absolutely unique. Together with Mike "Deuce" Donley made Chain Reaction a complete and unbeatable entity. The group created special unison choreography that did not exist before. This would change the way the dance would be performed forever.
CHAIN REACTION BAND
Album "Culture Shock" Elektra Asylum Records
In 1980 after the dance group broke up, Thomas and Paul decided to stay in the entertainment business by becoming a band.Thomas playing the guitar since the age of 5 felt real comfortable going right into his passion for playing but paul the transition wasn't as easy not knowing how to play guitar went straight to percussion. Coming from a musical family being 3rd generation musician it felt pretty natural playing in a band.
