Luigi Saab Silveira Martin (born on February 7, 2011) is Brazilian-American young professional dancer, singer, and actor who is currently living in New York City.

Luigi’s journey into the performing arts began at the tender age of four, inspired by his parents, the performers Ana Saab and Lorenzo Martin. Luigi's early dance training started at the Magical Movements School of Dance in Harrison, New York, where he quickly demonstrated his potential. His passion and skill led him to the New York Performing Arts Center, where his dedication to dance only grew. As Luigi participated in nationally ranked competitions, his extraordinary talent became increasingly apparent. In 2022, he was celebrated as the Junior Dancer of the Year at the Artistic Dance Exchange (ADE). The 2022-2023 season marked a significant period of growth for Luigi, as he toured with ADE and learned from prominent instructors like Gianna Martello, Tom Richardson, and Robbie Blue In his pursuit of excellence, Luigi signed with the esteemed MSA Agency, a crucial step in his blossoming career. His commitment to dance reached new heights in 2024 when he was recognized as NYCDA's Junior Male Outstanding Dancer RU. This accolade inspired him to enhance his training further. Luigi has since expanded his education by training under the guidance of Michael Crawford and Kelin Barr at Brava Dance Center and with Sean Stewart, Adrienne Schulte, and Olga Gershanok at the Greenwich Ballet Academy. He performed as the Nutcracker, the Prince, and Lead Russian in season 24/25.

On April 24, 2025, adding to his achievements, Luigi made his television debut when in the ballet-drama *Etoile* premiered, a series directed and written by Amy Sherman-Palladino. The ballet drama Étoile is a new series on Prime Video, and tells the story of two famous ballet companies in Paris and New York that swap their top dancers to save their institutions. Produced by the creators of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, the series, which highlights both the highs and lows of ballet, is available on Amazon Prime Video in one season, which surprisingly left the plot open after only one season, as it will not be continued (Trailer *Etoile* S1, Meet the Characters | Étoile).
