The Versatility of Contemporary Jazz and Its Importance for Dancers and Dance Lovers in Puerto Vallarta


This Sunday, October 20, at 9:00 am, Mía Dance Studio will host JOAMER, a teacher and dancer from New York, specializing in Contemporary Jazz. This form of dance is highly versatile and has gained popularity worldwide, including in places like Puerto Vallarta, where the dancer community, especially those working in the hotel and tourism sector, as well as modern dance enthusiasts, find in this art form an invaluable tool for their professional and creative development.

What is Contemporary Jazz?

Contemporary Jazz is a fusion of several dance styles, including elements of ballet, classical jazz, modern dance, and other movement forms. What sets it apart is its fluidity and adaptability, allowing dancers to express a wide range of emotions and tell stories through their bodies, without the strict rules of other disciplines. Over the years, it has evolved to incorporate freer techniques and movements, making it one of the most dynamic and expressive dance forms.

One of the main attractions of Contemporary Jazz is its flexibility. Unlike more formal disciplines, this style allows dancers to play with rhythm, energy, and space, giving them the opportunity to explore their own personal style. This versatility is particularly relevant for dancers working in shows at Puerto Vallarta’s hotels, who must quickly adapt to different styles and choreographic requirements to satisfy international audiences.

The Importance of Contemporary Jazz for Hospitality Dancers in Puerto Vallarta

As one of Mexico's top tourist destinations, Puerto Vallarta offers a wide range of entertainment at its hotels and resorts, where dance plays a crucial role. Professional dancers who are part of entertainment and show teams at these establishments must be versatile and capable of adapting to various dance styles, as hotel shows often blend everything from Mexican folklore to modern rhythms like jazz, hip hop, and contemporary dance.

In this context, Contemporary Jazz has become an invaluable tool for dancers working in the hospitality sector. This discipline allows them to develop solid technique while maintaining the flexibility needed to adapt to different styles of choreography, from traditional performances to more innovative and modern shows. Fluid movements, impressive jumps, and the ability to tell stories through dance are essential skills in tourist shows, and Contemporary Jazz provides just these elements.

Additionally, the expressive nature of this style gives dancers a deeper emotional connection with the audience, which is vital in a tourist setting where spectators seek visually impactful and emotionally resonant experiences. Hotels in Puerto Vallarta, attracting an international clientele, greatly value dancers who can offer a diverse and engaging stage performance, positioning Contemporary Jazz as a crucial discipline in the training of these artists.

A Discipline That Fosters Creativity and Expression

Contemporary Jazz is not only important for professional dancers in the hospitality sector but also for modern dance lovers in Puerto Vallarta. This discipline allows dancers to explore their creativity and express themselves freely, which is essential for those seeking an artistic outlet through dance. In a place like Puerto Vallarta, where art and culture are increasingly present, Contemporary Jazz has become a popular form of expression for those looking for a deep connection with movement and music.

Through Contemporary Jazz, dancers can experiment with different musical genres, from classic jazz to contemporary music, enriching their ability to innovate and create unique choreographies. This makes it particularly attractive for those looking to stand out in the competitive world of modern dance, where originality and the ability to evoke emotions through movement are key elements.
