About
A choreographer known for her strong leadership and collaborative spirit, Louise Hradsky is a creative heavyweight with a refined point of view. Originally from Western Canada, she found her home in the film and television industry 20 years ago, working steadily across the globe as a performer, choreographer, and movement coach since.
Reflecting on the performance side of her career, Louise has worked on both the big and small screen with notable roles in feature films such as Sucker Punch, Mirror Mirror, and Deadpool 2, as well as TV shows like The Last of Us, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Fargo. Known for her outstanding blend of technical athleticism and magnetic character performance, she also took center stage with Cirque du Soleil, embodying the iconic Green Lizard in Mystère, their longest-running resident show in Las Vegas. Her athleticism seamlessly transitioned into the world of stunts, where she gained extensive experience and a deep understanding of action on camera. This unique crossover has only expanded her appreciation for the art of visual storytelling, reinforcing her belief that dynamic, thoughtful movement is integral in elevating not just a scene or character, but the entire narrative.
In her years as a film and television choreographer, Louise has been nominated for an Emmy Award, World Choreography Award, MTV Movie and TV Award, and won a Leo Award for outstanding choreography. Her recent credits include Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies, School Spirits, Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters, Yellowjackets, Pachinko, The Good Doctor, To All The Boys 2 & 3, A Million Little Things, The Midnight Club, and The Haunting Of Bly Manor, among others.
Early in her career, Louise worked creatively alongside pioneering dance icons such as Kenny Ortega, Jamal Sims, and Michelle Johnston. They shared their wisdom and recognized how Louise’s contributions elevated each scene she touched, mentoring her into the role of a leading choreographer.
Currently based in Vancouver, Louise continues to make a significant impact both through her choreography, and within the Canadian dance community. As a founding member and Co-Chair of the UBCP/ACTRA Dance Committee, she is at the forefront of advocating for the vital role that dance plays in the film and television industry. She remains a passionate creative, inspired educator, and dedicated community leader.
