DANCERS/CHOREOGRAPHERS

Laurieann Gibson

Artists like Lady GaGa do not make up those crazy dance routines themselves, they hire choreographers like Toronto's very own Laurieann Gibson to create dance routines for concerts and music videos. Most choreographers start off as dancers, but because dance is such a strenuous activity and injuries occur often, they stop around there 30's. Choreographers create original dances and develop new interpretations of existing dances, and instruct other dancers by demonstrating the exact routine. Dancers need constant training to be successful and to become a choreographer it takes many years of experience. Choreographer's and back up dancers are essential for almost every artist. Dancers are seen at almost all concerts, award shows and music videos.
