In each choreographies of Géraldine Armstrong, the same constant: to grant the primacy to the movement and the rhythm, to excite the bodies around the blues, of the swing or the gospel with an alternative wealth, a vibration, a sensuality irradiant.
“The artists who defend in France the dance jazz are not legion. Géraldine Armstrong counts among most committed, the best too. Two Masters are known to him: Matt Mattox who made of many disciples in France and Alvin Ailey, American figurehead. It is while remaining faithful to the lesson of these two artists that it built the repertoire of its company. In each one of its parts the same constant: to grant the primacy to the movement and the rhythm, to excite the bodies around the blues, of the swing or the gospel with an alternative wealth, a vibration, a sensuality irradiant. Its fine team of dancers interpreters does not have any evil to communicate with the public. ” (Jean-Claude Dienis)
