Lanier McKinney Entertainment
About Us Lanier McKinney Entertainment is an independent creative company rooted in authentic movement, raw artistry, and real development. We provide choreography, movement coaching, artist development, and creative direction for emerging performers and brands ready to move with purpose.
Built from the ground up by a working artist, our mission is to help talent grow organically — developing their skills, confidence, and creative vision from the inside out. Whether it’s for the stage, the screen, or a live performance, we bring honest movement and meaningful direction to every project.
This isn’t about trends. It’s about truth, growth, and connection through movement — from the underground to the spotlight, from the culture to the camera, from the grind to the glory… from the streets to the stage.
