Crew

Director: Manny Siverio | bio
Manny Siverio is an East Coast based Stunt Coordinator, Stuntman and Second Unit Director. He is a member of SAG, DGA and AFTRA.

He started learning how to dance the New York "On 2" Style of Mambo (Salsa) dancing in 1995. His first dance instructors were Addie Diaz (who later became his wife) and Nelson Flores. He later moved on to a more advanced level and took lessons at both the Eddie
Torres and Jimmy Anton's Dance Studios.
Manny eventually became a member of the Eddie Torres "Jammers" where he developed the experience that has made him the dancer he is today. He was exposed to performing on several prestigious stages as a dancer for artist such as Tito P uente and Celia Cruz. He was an original cast member to the first Off-Broadway Mambo Musical: LATIN MADNESS, has performed at the 3rd Annual Congreso Mundial de La Salsa in Puerto Rico, the 1st Annual Congreso Mundial de la Salsa in New York and the 3rd Annual West Coast Salsa Congress in Los Angeles (to name a few). Manny was the first to successfully combined his martial art & stunt background with mambo dancing. He began working with the "Latin Dance Ensemble" where he took part in choreographing a martial arts style Mambo number (Mam-Fu in 1999) and since then has choreographed a Knifefighting mambo number (Hustler late 2000) for the Addie-Tude Dance Company. He has traveled to perform in such places at Hawaii, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Puerto Rico, Hong Kong, Japan, Switzerland, London and Paris. When not working on a film projects, he usually assists as an instructor at his wife's (Addie Diaz-Siverio's) weekly dance class in New York City. Salsa-Writer: After a chance meeting in L.A. (while working on the feature: BLADE), he began to apply his writing skills to dancing when he became the first cityguide correspondent to Salsaweb.com Magazine. Using the format favored by many popular martial art magazines, Manny focused on the NY Mambo Instructor/Performer much like the Martial Art Magazines favored the Martial Art Instructor/Fighter and soon converted his section into the largest of the cityuides and the second most popular page of the entire worldwide Salsaweb site. Having left Salsaweb in late 2000, Manny is currently the co-publisher of SalsaNewYork.com and has helped transformed it into the ultimate New York Salsa/Mambo dancer website that it is today with articles, interviews, instructor reviews and dancer oriented resources.
