Ms. Gibson in the Flesh

Upon looking at one of my favorite websites, Boomkack.com, I learned a lot about my favorite dancer in the industry, Laurieann Gibson.  She is not only an inspiration to me, but to many, many struggling artists, dancers, and performers.  She has come a long way in her dancing career, and now she has moved into the choreographer/creative director title.  She has choreographed many famous dances and she has worked with many famous artists from all over.  Making it to the title of choreographer was a feat in itself, but now she’s directing, and that’s definitely not a small feat.  She has directed videos for big name artists such as, Keri Hilson, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry.  She has done some acting, such as when she played a part in “Honey” with Jessica Alba, and she’s even done some work with Spike Lee.  Ms. Gibson has really been all over the map.  She has taken her talents and really pushed them into another league.  Now, after reviewing the website, I have gotten a much better insight into the life of Laurieann Gibson.  The site goes into great detail about her life in her biography and it also includes all of the work that she has done over the years.  It includes the television shows that she has worked on, such as Born to Dance, the Dance Scene, and her up and coming show, Dream Warriors.  The site gives me an even better glimpse into her life by having videos up of the music videos she has worked on and clips from the shows she has worked on as well.  Before really diving into this website, I didn’t know all that much about Ms. Gibson, besides the fact that she is a world renowned dancer and choreographer, but now I know just how extensive her career is and how famous she really is.
