A little about Luis:

Luis didn't know that his passion for the arts would lead him on to a path of adventure and to experience his dreams. He started his training in public school, continued in private performing schools and then college. However, his most productive training has been from his work experience on stage since the age of 10. In the past few years Luis has been traveling the world doing what he loves the most, performing. Falling in love with art itself and all its disciplines, Luis has been able to work consistently and efficiently. On February 13, 2004 Luis’s hometown of Vega Alta, Puerto Rico honored him by dedicating the 18th Carnival Celebration in his name. The Mayor recognized him for his achievements and the Manuel G. Medina of Arts Cultural Center awarded him with the “Artist of the Year Award”. In April 2007 he was selected “Gypsy of the Month” by Adrienne Onofri from BroadwayWorld.com and he achieved his first Drama Desk Award for “Outstanding Ensemble” with the hit musical “In The Heights”. In May of 2007, “Latino Leaders” selected him as one of the hottest names in the world of professional theater on the NY stages. Luis Salgado keeps on dreaming and walking that path of his dreams. With an intense vision in the optimistic possibilities of art, Luis has developed Revolución Latina, a movement that celebrates human success and growth, in particular of the Latino artists and performers, who with their choices and actions are great role models for others. “If you choose to follow the path of your dreams, commit yourself to it. Accept your path.” – (Maktub) P.Coelho

Choreographer

He also choreographed shows like "Fire & Desire", "Starting Today"," The Super Stars Live Show" at El Dorado Hotel in Louisiana and “The Drop Outs” which had its third season under Luis’s Choreography this year at Museo Del Barrio. He studied dance at the University of Puerto Rico, Broadway Dance Center, Steps, The Edge and other studios. It was in Puerto Rico where he developed a passion for dance and theatre that took him to the creation of his own company, a dance school, and to choreograph different shows around the world. Luis has put his style into Industrials, Musicals, Casino Shows, Live Stage Performances, Film, Television, Recording Artists, and his own theatre productions. He has now joined forces with Seth Stewart and together they have developed a new project which you will be able to see and buy very soon. Salgado has also been blessed to have the opportunity of working with Choreographers like Wayne Cilento, Sergio Trujillo, and John 'Cha Cha' O'Connell, Jamal Sims & Andy Blankenbuehler, learning the best creative views from all of them. Luis has assisted Maria Torres in the film “Enchanted”; Jamal Sims in the Film "Step Up 2" and is the Latin Assistant Choreographer in the Musical Hit “In The Heights” that has earned The Drama Desk, Lucille Lortel and Outer Criticts Award in 2007 for Outstanding Choreography under the hand of Andy Blankenbuehler.
