Composed of Carlos "Slammalotte" Barrientes, Randy "Kid Swift" Parker, James "Icy Elf" Bateman, "Rey "Babee Rey" Bell, Ginger "Miss Froxxy" Fox, Wilbert "Chill Will" Square, and Don "Ziggy" Zirkle, all between the ages of 11 and 21, the crew's dance career officially started in February of 1984, when they performed in the Waterwear Fashion Show in Seattle's Kingdome.

Incorporating both jazz and gymnastics into their routines, the Breakers competed in shows all around Washington, as well as the rest of the United States and Canada. Some of their most notable achievements include participation in the "Dance America" dance marathon, performing at some of the Seattle Supersonics' basketball games, and dancing and acting in "I Pity the Man," a video made for MTV.
