Meet the Dancers: Penelope Koulos


Penelope Koulos grew up in Long Beach, California and trained at Orange County Dance Center for 12 years.   Since she was 11, Penelope has spent every summer dancing at intensives such as The Rock School, Boston Ballet, Alvin Ailey, and Paul Taylor.  She is a versatile dancer with a focus in ballet and contemporary and has a passion to perform.  Penelope did not want to give up a rigorous academic education in order to pursue her love for dance.  She chose The University of Michigan to earn her BFA in Dance and minor in Movement Science.  She hopes to live out her dream as a professional contemporary ballet dancer.  However, when her body can no longer withstand the physical demand, Penelope would like to get her Phd in Physical Therapy and eventually work for a dance company.
