Luca Branca

Luca Branca, born in Italy in 2004, began dancing at the age of eight at a small-town dance school where he learnt modern dance and hip-hop. He took part in competitions with his own choreographies and was given the opportunity to become a member of Arte Danza Novara, a school for contemporary dance in Italy. After five years, he was invited to study at the Academie Princess Grace in Monte Carlo under the direction of Luca Masala, where he graduated in 2023. He took part in the Young Creation Award of the Prix de Lausanne and was named with the 2021 Talent Award as a young choreographer. Luca Branca already danced as a guest artist at the Staatstheater Nürnberg from 2022 to 2024 and is a permanent ensemble member of the Staatstheater Nürnberg Ballett in the 2024/25 season.
