Vancouver, Canada - April 4, 2025 - Orlando Lucas, a multi-talented dancer and actor from Vancouver, British Columbia, is set to showcase his skills on the world stage this April. The 19-year-old performer will compete with two elite dance crews—Identity Dance Company (IDCO) and Crew 24—at the prestigious World Dance Crew Championships in Auckland, New Zealand.
Lucas, who has made a name for himself in both the acting and dance industries, has been part of several high-profile television productions, sharing the screen with Sandra Bullock and Viola Davis in The Unforgivable.

While his acting career flourishes, dance has remained a central passion, leading him to international competitions and multiple gold medal wins.
Reflecting on his journey, Lucas shared, “Dance has always been a part of who I am, but competing on the world stage with these incredible teams has pushed me beyond my limits. Being part of IDCO and Crew 24 has been an incredible experience, and I can’t wait to represent New Zealand at the World Finals.”
