Laurieann Gibson, Pop Jazz Dance Choreographer

Did you know Laurieann Gibson trained with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company?! Laurieann is new to "So You Think You Can Dance" (SYTYCD). Season 5 was her first season choreographing for the show. She choreographed the top two boys' routine for the finale, which I really loved. I think she adds a hard hitting hip hop type of dance and it will be exciting to see what she does on upcoming seasons of SYTYCD. She is best known for being the choreographer for the MTV hit series "Making The Band".

This lens is part of a series including the choreographers from the Fox Reality Show SYTYCD. I'm a huge dance fan, and addicted to Reality TV. I've really admired the choreography on the show and for the first five seasons before I started creating lenses about SYTYCD, I wondered, "Where did these great choreographers come from?"

So the purpose of this series of lenses is to provide a short biography of each choreographer, and to remind you of their work on the show.
