I want to be able to say, ‘you think you’re odd, I’m even odder and I made it – you can too!’ I want to direct, do more with ‘The Dance Scene,’ sign artists and just provide opportunities. I’m just getting started and having the time of my life! Laurieann Gibson Read Quote

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 Read Quote
I’m an emotional eater. If something’s worth celebrating, we’re going to grab pizza. If it’s going bad, girl, pass me the chocolate. Gotta keep it in check! Laurieann Gibson Read Quote
