Paula Cobo Botello

Originally from Mexico. Paula started her professional training when she joined The National School of Classical and Contemporary Dance in Mexico City. At the age of 14, she was the recipient of a scholarship to further her education at the Victoria Academy of Ballet in Victoria, BC. Upon graduating, Paula joined Ballet Edmonton in 2019. She has had the opportunity to work with acclaimed choreographers such as Andrea Peña, Ihsan Rustem, Shay Kuebler, Dorotea Saykaly, Ethan Colangelo and Wen Wei Wang to name a few. While in rehearsal, Paula has always been interested in personal development through movement and how the physicality of different pieces affect the emotions and inner dialog that emerges. The work she has done since joining Ballet Edmonton has given her the freedom to find that emotional and physical range and is thrilled to keep exploring that side of her artistry.
