Luke Csordas grew up outside of Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he was drawn to dance due to its ability to tell stories and build community. He received his BFA from the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance, where he trained with role models such as William Forsythe, Jermaine Spivey, Bret Easterling, and Jodie Gates. After graduating, Luke joined Charlotte Ballet during Alejandro Cerrudo’s first season of directorship. Luke has performed leading roles in works by Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, William Forsythe, Alejandro Cerrudo, and George Balanchine. He has originated roles in works by Mthuthuzeli November, Omar Román De Jesús, Hope Boykin, Bret Easterling, Jennifer Archibald, and Alejandro Cerrudo. Luke has a blossoming interest in choreography, having choreographed for Charlotte Ballet’s “FLIP.” His work “get to the other side” was performed by Charlotte Ballet II. While studying to receive his BFA in Dance, Luke also focused on Cinematic Arts at USC’s SCA and was an elected member of the Student Advisory Board.
