and above all else, The Penguin Lady values a connection with the
audience. We accomplish this by using emotion, vulnerability, and impact
in our human storytelling.

YOUR IMPACT
The Penguin Lady believes dance is more than moving and
creating. While both are important and intricate, dancing is a way to impact,
share, and move people to a clearer understanding of themselves, as well as the
ideas and concepts that we all deal with on a daily basis.
The Penguin Lady is an incredibly diversified group. This
enriches both the work we create and the audiences we reach. Our debut
performance is very special to us. It focuses on the beauty that we
all possess but so often is inadvertently over looked because of society’s
obsession with negativity. We enjoy shedding light on the positive.
Your contribution will allow us to bring our stories to the main stage, adding a little more light to Salt Lake City.
