Ali Koinoglou

Founder & Director, Koin & Co Dancers

Ali Koinoglou is an award-winning choreographer, director, and educator based in New York City. She made her professional choreography debut at Symphony Space while a student in Broadway Dance Center’s Professional Semester — a launching point that sparked a career she's proud and deeply grateful to continue building today.

Ali’s choreography has been featured on major stages and platforms, with credits including Disney+'s Sneakerella movie premiere, MTV’s 50th Anniversary Celebration for Madonna, TLC’s The Long Island Medium, and ABC’s Good Morning America. Beyond television, her work has graced renowned stages through performances with LegUp on Life, Sybarite, Peridance Youth Arts Showcase, DUMBO Dance Festival, Brooklyn Dance Festival, and more.

She has also worked as an associate choreographer for brands like the Brooklynettes, Nike, Clarins, Colgate, and Tag Heuer. Her choreography has earned recognition from industry leaders like Pulse on Tour, Radix Dance Convention, Dance Mogul Magazine, and Dance Magazine. As a performer, Ali’s credits include the Capezio A.C.E. Awards, CARNIVAL, Good Morning America, and Dancers of New York.

Alongside her choreography career, Ali built a strong foundation in arts administration and education. She worked in Broadway Dance Center’s Education Department under director Bonnie Erickson and later became the media manager and personal assistant to five-time Emmy Award winner Mia Michaels. Ali also was on faculty at Sacred Heart University for five semesters, where she mentored emerging dancers at the university level and set over twenty pieces — an experience that continues to shape her educational mission today.

Driven by her love for creating, teaching, and building community, Ali founded Koin & Co Dancers — a company that began as a platform for her professional works and has since blossomed into one of New York City's leading educational and pre-professional dance programs for dancers ages 12–18. Now celebrating its 10th season, Koin & Co welcomes dancers from across the tri-state area and beyond, offering rigorous training, mentorship, and exclusive industry access through Ali’s extensive network of top choreographers, educators, and agents. Under Ali’s leadership, Koin & Co has helped dancers successfully transition into collegiate, professional, and commercial dance careers, while always nurturing a community rooted in artistry, work ethic, and kindness.

Today, Ali continues to direct Koin & Co, teach on faculty at both Broadway Dance Center and Peridance Center, and pursue her lifelong mission: to inspire dancers around the world to reach their fullest potential — not just as artists, but as extraordinary human beings.
