Parris Goebel, the electrifying dancer, and choreographer behind the Savage x Fenty show and some of the most memorable music videos of the past decade (if you’ve recreated the moves from Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” in your bedroom, you have her to credit), understood what she was meant to do at an early age, and she wasted no time in getting to work.
That meant dedicating herself full-time to dance at 15, forming her dance crew, and posting her work on YouTube — all in her teens — before an artist by the name of Jennifer Lopez noticed her.
