 Addie Diaz (Director, Choreographer &
Dancer):
Addie Diaz, with a background
in Mambo Cha-Cha, Merengue, Hip-Hop and Jazz was trained to be a professional
Latin dancer by the late Evelyn Leon. She began performing with "Dancers
Fantasy Stars" and was fortunate enough to be trained by some of the best
dancers in New York City. She gives Evelyn along with Mario Diaz (no relation),
Angel "Negro" Rodriguez and Nelly Cotto credit for their influence in
her dancing skills. She then went on to dance in Stacey Lopez’s "New York
Salsa Dancers". In 94' she was called to be one of the "RMM
Dancers" (Ralph Mercado Management) for the "1994" &
"1995" Combinacion Perfecta Tour. She has also freelanced for the "Mario Diaz
Dance Revue" and with Luis Zegarra’s "Fuerza Latina". Addie
joined "Descarga Latina Dance Company" in 1996 where she assisted
Nelson Flores, Director in running the team and along with the other members
participated in new choreography.
Addie has had the opportunity to choreograph
dance numbers for other teams as well as travel all over the U.S.
and throughout
the world to perform and teach dance workshops. She has moved on to form her own dance
company in early 1999 and is the choreographer of the company’s routines.
She is acknowledged for her creative and diversified dance choreography. Several
of her numbers have been featured in the Off-Broadway
Mambo Musical: Latin Madness.
