Biography

Laurent Bourgeois is known as the identical twin brother to Larry Bourgeois and collectively as the world-renowned Les Twins. These French, Hip-Hop dancers have taken the entertainment industry by storm with innovative moves and a gravity-defying new style of dance. Their journey from being the trending search on YouTube to performing alongside Beyoncé in front of a sold-out crowd of fans, celebrity guests and even Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia has been nothing short of miraculous. And they're just getting started.

Born on December 6, 1988 in Sarcelles, France, Larry and Laurent are the youngest in a large family of siblings. They knew from a very early age that they were born to entertain. It didn't take long for others to recognize that these twins were unique, talented, and indeed, destined for greatness.

In what seems like a blink of the eye, Les Twins went from dancing on the streets of Paris to modeling in shows during Paris Fashion Week. They've danced on stages with some of the industry's best entertainers, like Beyoncé and Missy Elliott and have been cited as having musicality well beyond their years.

Known in the dance world as innovative giants, Larry and Laurent have redefined cool. They've wowed the American public with performances on The Ellen Degeneres Show, the Billboard Awards, Dancing with the Stars, Cirque de Soleil's MJ Immortal Tour and appearances in Rocawear, H&M, Addidas Megalizer and New Era Campaigns. They recently completed their featured appearance on the mega-successful, back-to-back tours of Beyonce Run the World and Beyonce/Jay Z On the Run tours.

Naturally funny, Larry and Laurent have turned their sights to television and film projects. Anyone who has spent time with the charismatic twins has quickly discovered that they both have a wicked sense of humor with great comedic timing. With model good looks, towering at 6'4" tall, Larry and Laurent speak English with a fine French flair. Yet, ask them about any of their favorite US TV shows or movies, and they instantly transform into those characters with ease. They are both comedy connoisseurs, crediting The Fresh Prince of Bel Air for their love affair with American television and comedy. With a dream to star in their own show, and perhaps work with their idol Will Smith along the way, Larry and Laurent have marked Hollywood as the next stop on their fantastic twin journey.
