How Celebrity Choreographer Jojo Gomez Learned to Love Herself

Jojo Gomez is a kinetic, animated dancer. There is an electricity in the air when she performs, which is why it’s hard to believe she was ever down on herself. There was a time when Gomez struggled with body image issues. After she embraced her curves, she made her own dreams come true. Today, Gomez is a dance world star who choreographs routines for celebrities like Demi Lovato, Tinashe and the Backstreet Boys, while making time to mentor up-and-coming talent.

    I'm not a dancer but music has always been a major part of my life. I love Jojo and have from the start because of the fact that she is a bad ass. You can tell be the way she dances and just by the way she IS! More women need to be comfortable in their own skin and take ownership of their sexiness. Jojo is and will always be a talented, beautiful, honest and wonderful person and I will always look up to her. 💗

    Congratulations 🎉 I had watched all her videos and undeniably she's demonstrated she has the quality of the highest rating choreography. Because no one can ever be a serious choreography unless you feel what you dance. I have never took dance classes and only took basic jazz, plus,I used to practice aerobics for 6 years,and I was blessed to be on stage dance aerobics with a reknown aerobics trainer here who was dance mate with my mom in a Spanish group.

    IFrag PSN She actually is a very unique person in the dance industry. If you actually check out her artistry its very distinct, whether its hiphop, jazz funk, or contemporary. She knows how to dance “generically” bc thats her job, “generic” dance moves sell better than unique ones. but if you look at her real noncommercial work its better than you think it is.

    ​@@alejandrosantos5328 Slow your roll fanboy. First off, I never gave any actual thoughts regarding her dancing. Second, everything you said *could* be true... but if it is, whoever directed this video did her wrong, by not pointing out that she's repeating two of the most generic and overused dance moves in history... *after* she went out of her way to say she "loves being different." That'd be like making a video proving Michael Jackson was the best dancer ever, but only showing the crotch grabs. That'd be like trying to sell Shakespeare plays by only quoting the lines with toilet humor. So either Great Big Story needs better familiarity with the subject matter in their videos (so as not to inadvertently make people like her look hopelessly "generic"), or maybe..... juuuuuuuuust maybe..... she ain't as "different" as you and she like to think she is.
