    Laurie Ann Gibson

A hip hop choreographer to the stars including P. Diddy, Alicia Keys, Mario, Hillary Duff, Clay Aiken, Mary J. Blige, Brandy, Dido and JoJo. She was featured as a “fly girl” in the comedy show “In Living Color” along with Jennifer Lopez and also was featured as a dancer in films such as “Malcom X” and “Sing”.

Her choreography appears in current day videos and movies such as “Honey” with Jessica Alba. She not only choreographed the film, but played the role of “Katrina” – Honey’s nemesis – as well. Gibson was featured on the MTV series “Making the Band” with P.Diddy and Danity Kane. She has been working with Diddy for quite awhile and on several projects.

Through her devotion, unique dance style, and unmatched skill she has had the opportunities to work with the biggest stars of the music industry. Laurie Ann is currently a working choreographer with a lot of promise ahead of her in the hip hop industry.
