In addition to his artistic activities, Armando is also active in the journalistic field. His popular arts blog, "Interview En L'air", has become widely known in the international dance scene and earned him a place at "Dance For You Magazine” as a permanent correspondent. In 2015, Armando began to build an arts community in Basel where dancers of all levels and all body types could train in a supportive and professional environment. This idea has since expanded and in 2017, he and his wife Lisa founded the “Braswell Arts Center” – a space for innovation and collaboration in all art forms located in Basel, Switzerland. www.armandobraswell.comFIND OUT MORELISA BRASWELLLisa Braswell is an ex-dancer from New York City.

Our Arts Center offers quality classes and provides a space for creativity, collaboration and innovation in all art forms. The newly designed space is fully transformable for professional dance performances, concerts, gallery exhibits, and special events. We also see this as a chance to collaborate with the Basel arts community, schools and sponsors to provide a new and fresh initiative for emerging artists and underprivileged kids. We hope to offer movement classes as well as development and performance opportunities for artists.OUR TEAMArmando Braswell
