Throughout his career, he has danced in more than 350 cities around the globe, performing in some of the most important venues for dance in the world.

Lucas has been awarded the Premio Clarin, the most prestigious recognition for the Arts in Argentina.

As an educator and coach, Lucas has taught Master Classes throughout the US and in cities such as Hong Kong, Puerto Rico and Amsterdam, among many others.
