Jacob Mora is the Artistic Director of Moraporvida Contemporary Dance (MPVCD), a 501-c3 non-profit Dance Company, that is based on urban experiences and human emotions.

With a distinct and profound voice in the Arts,  Jacob has had the pleasure of creating curriculum for Dancers, Non-Dancers and people with special needs from age 5 to 75. Tapping into the strengths of the students Jacob has been able to teach dance through gestures, pedestrian movements and various dance techniques internationally.

Jacob has a teaching mission to expand the view of what dance can be and bring the arts to all. Teaching dance through many different techniques and styles, Mr. Mora can teach current styles and make dance accessible, as well as teach from a historical technical place.

He can teach Hip Hop, Modern Forms, Contemporary Dance, Jazz as well as classical techniques.

Through performance Jacob uses his art and craft to explore the human condition as well as challenge perspectives in movement.

Through outreach, educational performances and residencies, Jacob can tailor an experience to include the current curriculum being taught in a school’s particular level, as well as teach about the art of creating movements for choreography.

Jacob graduated from the University of Northern Colorado and received B.A. s in both Dance & Theatre, with emphasis in Choreography, Acting, and Performance.
