Armando Braswell is a professional dancer and teacher from New York City. After receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in dance from The Juilliard School in 2006, Armando danced with Ballett Theater Munich, Gauthier Dance Stuttgart and just recently completed his final season as a soloist with Ballett Theater Basel. Aside from his dancing career, Armando has established himself as a guest teacher in high demand, teaching amateurs and professionals worldwide, and has also choreographed for many stages throughout Europe as well as for television. 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.com

Lisa Braswell is an ex-dancer from New York City. After attending Purchase University and Hunter College she carried her love of dance to her position as Office Manager of one of the most successful instructional dance video companies in the United States. After moving to Europe , Lisa completed the CRESENDA Basel Start-up Course and started her own sucessful business called "Sweets by Lisa". As a professional administrator, Lisa has experience on an international scale, working for companies in New York and Germany and is currently the Administrative Director of the Braswell Arts Center in Basel, Switzerland.
After many years of thinking of a way to bridge the gap between art and the public, the idea for the Braswell Arts Center was born. 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.
