Trevor Tordjman

Trevor Tordjman was born on November 22, 1995 in Kitchener, a city in Southern Ontario, Canada. He has three siblings, Justine, his eldest sister, then Nathan, his elder brother, and then Steven, his younger brother. His inspiration to become a dancer comes from his mother, Joanne, who owns a dancing studio in Kitchener, named ‘ConfiDance’. He was the valedictorian in his high school.

Although there have been lot of rumours and speculations linking Tordjman to Raymond, they seem to be unfounded.

Trevor Tordjman began his career as an actor and performer in music videos and commercials. He appeared in the video of the Victoria Duffield song, ‘Fever’, in September 2010. He also performed as a background dancer for Shawn Desman’s ‘Night Like this’ in October of the same year. His break-out role as James came in 2013, when he was cast in the Canadian TV show ‘The Next Step’. It is a teen-drama series exclusively shot in mockumentary style. A part of the show since the pilot episode, Tordjman was a series regular until season 4. In the fifth season, which is also the most recent, Tordjman’s character became a recurring one. He portrays James with much earnestness and conviction, and brings in a certain sense of realism to a character who comes off as both self-centred and fiercely loyal. He even directed one episode in season 4 and choreographed another in season 5 of the show.

He is reprising the character in the show’s spin-off ‘Lost And Found Music Studios’ which premiered on December 11, 2015. He was included in the documentary ‘The Next Step Live: The Movie’ (2015), a film based on the show’s cast’s first nationwide tour. He and his fellow cast members have toured to the United Kingdoms, Portugal, and Australia, among other countries.

He played Nate in gymnast Ariana Berlin’s biopic, ‘Full Out’ in 2015. The film was directed by Sean Cameron, and also starred Jennifer Beals and Ana Golja. He has been cast as Bucky in Jeffrey Hornaday’s directorial venture ‘Zombies’, a Disney adventure, horror, musical TV movie that is set for a 2018 release.

In early 2014, Tordjman set up ‘Raw Motion Dance’, “a dance convention organizer and provider of in-studio workshops with amazing choreographers and teachers.” The present faculty, beside Tordjman, includes the likes of Brittany Raymond (who plays his love interest Riley in ‘The Next Step’), Lamar Johnson, ‘So You Think You Can Dance Canada (Season 4)’ winner Jordan Clark, and Myles Erlick.

Tordjman can rap and play drums, and has done so since high school. He is now learning to play piano.
