  Broadway Artists and Industry Professionals join R.Evolución Latina for the Premiere of  BEYOND:A R.Evolución Latina Documentary R.Evolución Latina (RL) celebrates the training and community of artists through the premiere event of BEYOND: A R.Evolución Latina Documentary at Dolby 88 Cinema in Midtown.

Over the past 16 years RL has dedicated themselves to creating training that is accessible to artists on every step of their journey. The 2023 Beyond Workshop Series focused on the power of Movement, embracing its transformative energy, weaving stories, connecting voices, within and beyond the creative community.

  IN THIS EPISODE Luis Salgado got his Broadway debut as a performer and Assistant Choreographer on IN THE HEIGHTS and has since gone on to perform in many shows, including WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, ROCKY, and ON YOUR FEET. As a director, choreographer, performer, and teacher, Luis is passionately dedicated to his Latin roots. His company, Salgado Productions, is committed to telling original stories of Latin America and making “Art With A Purpose”. Luis’s love for social work led him to the development of R.Evolución Latina, a nonprofit that provides artistic empowerment to underprivileged youths in New York City through free workshops, classes, and seminars. Join Luis as he discusses the challenges of the Latinx community on Broadway and making a difference.   CLICK HERE TO LISTEN Learn more about about the worthy causes discussed in this episodes and how you can donate and/or help: R.Evolución Latina Viva Broadway Connect with Luis: LuisSalgado.com SalgadoProduction

Check out these headlines: "Luis Salgado saborea el éxito teatral" ("Luis Salgado savors theatrical success"), Primera Hora newspaper. "Línea ascendente" ("Rising star"), El Nuevo Día. And when it looked like he'd have his first Broadway role, in 2005's   The Mambo Kings , the newspaper Hoy Nueva York proclaimed, "El debut de un grande" ("A great one's debut"). He's known in places where they speak other languages too. The German telecommunications giant Arcor twice hired him for an industrial, first as a dancer and the following year as choreographer. He's gone to Japan three times to be the guest artist with a dance company. Here in New York, where he's lived for the last five years or so, Salgado currently has his most prominent role to date.

On a December publication of  Dance Spirit  Alison Feller published a very special letter to younger Luis Salgado. As we share this article here we mix it up with picture from Fit for Broadway. Luis Salgado is the kind of dance partner girls dream of: strong, supportive and oh so sexy. Though he’s been dancing since he was a youngster in Puerto Rico, Salgado became a breakout star in the U.S. when he was cast as José—and as the Latin dance assistant choreographer—in the Tony Award–winning musical In the Heights . He’s also made a name for himself in movies: Salgado danced in Step Up 2: The Streets , Enchanted , Across the Universe and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights . Now, he’s keeping busy with R.Evolución Latina, the nonprofit organization he founded, which uses his “Dare to go beyond” message to empower young performing artists in the Latino community.  —Alison Feller   Dear Luis, DANCE! Dance barefoot, in the rain, in the street, with or without technique. Let your heart speak
