" I love working with Alicia Keys, because it’s not just the ability to do the dance to me; I think it’s the ability to interpret it that excites me the most. " - Laurieann Gibson

" I was born in Toronto and studied with the National Ballet of Canada. I went to school to study dance, slept on the floor, ate nothing, waitressed – and then there was a Mary J. Blige audition. " - Laurieann Gibson

" ‘Boom’ is my heart. The ‘kack’ is my soul. Apparently when I choreographed I didn’t realize that I said ‘boom-kack’ ‘boom-kack.’ I had no idea I was doing it and then I realized that it’s every time I felt like the fight in my soul – the boom and the kack – was like my heart. It was like the love of it – my heart and soul. " - Laurieann Gibson
