Georges Momboye is an internationally renowned Ivorian choreographer who began his training in African dance at a very young age before expanding his practice to jazz, classical, and contemporary dance, notably at the Alvin Ailey School in New York. Settled in France since 1992, he founded the Centre de Danses Pluri-Africaines in Paris, a space dedicated to the promotion and transmission of African dances.
Leading a company of about fifty artists, Momboye creates works that blend modernity with African roots, moving far beyond folkloric clichés. His signature pieces, such as Empreintes Massai, celebrate contemporary African art, while he also reinterprets classics like Prélude à l’Après-Midi d’un Faune and The Rite of Spring. His work intertwines emotion, light, music, and movement, crafting immersive and profound experiences for audiences.
A respected educator, he regularly leads workshops in France and internationally, sharing his deep expertise and clear approach to both African and contemporary dance.

As a mentor for the MASA Lab project, he currently supports the King’Art company, led by Serge Arthus Dodo, embodying a strong commitment to nurturing emerging artistic talent.
