Dance

Dancing is more than just something I’m passionate about; it consumes me!

Dance: “to move one’s feet or body, or both, rhythmically in a pattern of steps, especially to the accompaniment of music; to leap, skip, etc., as from excitement or emotion; move nimbly or quickly; to bob up and down” (dictionary.com).  This is exactly what I do each and every day of my life.  My love and passion for dance has always been at an all-time high.  Every morning I wake up, I want to dance.  Every evening I come home, I want to dance.  Even when I’m tired, sick, or sick and tired, I still want to dance. Ever since I was a little girl, my passion has always been for dance dance, dance!  I can’t help but think about it every waking moment, sometimes in my dreams too!  If at this very moment in life I could become a world-renowned choreographer, I would drop everything and do it!

Laurieann Gibson, a dancer that got her start from the Alvin Ailey Dance Company, is now a famous choreographer who choreographs many dances for all the celebrities.  According to the New York City Broadway Dance Center, Ms. Gibson has been the “Director of Choreography for Motown and Bad Boy Records…and has choreographed tours for both Miley Cyrus and Jesse McCartney…She has also worked with celebrities such as: Michael Jackson, Alicia Keys, Dixie Chicks, Clay Aiken, Brandy, Beyonce, Mario, and even Spike Lee” (Broadway Dance Center).  Laurieann has been in the game for a long time and her fame is not even close to dying down.  She is known for her amazing dancing skills and just her natural talent for choreography.  Being able to teach is an invaluable skill and she has definitely mastered it!  Laurieann Gibson has inspired me to dance for a very long time now, and if I ever had the chance to meet and work with her, I would just melt!  Maybe one day I will get the honor of dancing side by side with Ms. Gibson, but until then, I will keep chugging along with pursing my more realistic goals of working as a talent agent.
