Ever wanted to step into the shoes of top choreographer Laurieann Gibson? Well you're in luck, because here's your chance. 

The Emmy-nominated director sat down with dancer and Vampire Diaries star Kat Graham ahead of the 57th Annual Grammy Awards this weekend to chat about what it means to be a choreographer to notable A-list talent. 

"When you go to do something like the Grammys, the stakes are so high we can barely see them," she explains. "The Grammys is the biggest night for a recording artist. It's a night where you shape your career and let the world know you're here to stay." 

So, what inspires Laurieann Gibson, who is undoubtedly a game changer in the dance industry? 

"What inspires me as a creative visionary is to create something that has an emotional effect on the people watching," she shares. "To connect the music to the movement, to have the performance make us feel something."
