Jordan Hooks

Artist

Originally from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Jordan began his dance education at the age of 16 at Susquehanna Dance Center. What was initially a hobby quickly became a passion, leading him to audition for the University of North Carolina School of the Arts where he was accepted as an undergraduate in the contemporary dance program. With an interest in both ballet and contemporary dance, Jordan was lucky to perform a wide variety of repertoire during his time at UNCSA. The 2019 and 2021 UNCSA Nutcrackers, Robert Battle’s Battlefield and Mass, Douglas Dunn’s Pulcinella, and Ming-Lung Yang’s It Would are a few among many highlights.

Offstage, he has also participated in several dance films, including one that was self-produced, directed, and edited. He is extremely interested in honing his own choreographic voice, and was delighted to choreograph several works of his own while attending UNCSA. Jordan is eager to join the company at Vitacca, and begin his first year of work as a professional.
