Armando Braswell is an American dance artist, choreographer, educator and arts leader based in Basel, Switzerland. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, he trained at LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and earned his BFA in dance at The Juilliard School.

His performing career has taken him from Ballett Theater Munich and Gauthier Dance to Ballett Theater Basel, where he spent seven seasons as a soloist. His teaching and coaching work includes the Prix de Lausanne, The Ailey School and American Ballet Theatre. He is continuing his studies in teaching and rehearsing dance professionals at Zurich University of the Arts.

In 2017, Armando and Lisa Braswell founded the Braswell Arts Center in Basel, followed by the Braswell Arts Association in 2019. Through training, performances and community projects, their work creates space for artists and people of different ages and backgrounds to connect through dance.

Armando founded Interview En L’air out of a curiosity about the people behind the art. His conversations explore the experiences, influences and relationships that shape a creative life, bringing established voices and new perspectives into the same journal.
