A weekend with Georges Momboye – Traditional and Contemporary African Dance Georges Momboye, choreographer from the Ivory Coast, initiated very young traditional African dance and later to jazz dance, classical and contemporary dance in various schools including that of Alvin Ailey in New York, Georges Momboye never ceases to amaze us. It never ceases to create and enrich his teaching technique to our delight. A single watchword: let express emotions through dance, choreography, interpretation, development gestures, body and a pedagogy that will fetch far, deep within you. Georges Momboye visits and revisits for us, sometimes happy, sometimes sensuality, through the adolescent games or just verticality and horizontality.
