Rallou Manou

Rallou Manou (Greek: Ραλλού Μάνου; 1915-1988) was a noted Greek choreographer, modern dancer and dance teacher. She contributed to the development of postwar Greek dance.

In 1951, she founded the Hellenic Choreodrama, a group that presented dance-dramas based on Ancient Greek literature. Her works were often performed at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus of Athens. She collaborated with the Greek composers Manos Hadjidakis, Mikis Theodorakis, Giorgos Tsangaris, and George Sicilianos. She also collaborated with the Egyptian-born composer Halim El-Dabh, who composed the music for her dance-drama Doxastiko (1965). The sets and costumes of her choreographies were designed by noted greek artists such a Yiannis Tsarouchis, Nikos Engonopoulos, Nikos Nikolaou, Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas and Spyros Vassiliou.

She was married to Pavlos (Paul) Mylonas (Παύλος Μυλωνάς).
