Funkdamentalz
- Tour across the GTA Jaime
Wilson and Miranda Abbott founded the Funkdamental Dance Co. in 2002.
This female duo is nothing new, Jaime and Miranda have been dancing
together since 1998, what started out as a couple routines soon turned
into shows, music videos and special opening acts to some of the most
legendary hip hop artists. Miranda
and Jamie, also known in the industry as Tangerine and Jiven, were
formally members of Fem Nomena, an all female dance group that
originated in Toronto. Using the experience of their first crew, that
performed regularly at clubs like the Government Night Club, and
appeared on Much Music’s the Vibe, decided it was time for something
new and fresh and perhaps even a little more fun. The Funkdamentalz were
created. Jamie
Wilson, as a member of Fem Nomena was also the groups manager, who
created everything the crew needed for promotional material. She managed
the group’s financial agreements and even created shows, weekly events
and special appearances for Fem Nomena. Jamie aspires to bring the
Funkdamentalz to even higher heights. Miranda
Abbott, also brings her own flare to the Funkdamentalz, performing on
stage since she was three years old, Miranda has been a student in
professional training programs like the National Ballet School of
Canada. She was also a member of The Canadian Children’s dance
Theatre, and has currently finished her studies at the School of Toronto
Dance Theatre. Miranda brings a unique knowledge of the stage and
Choreography to the group. The
Funkdamentalz, go on tour around the GTA, is a show that creates a fun
and entertaining atmosphere for many clubs, concerts and events.
However more importantly, they want to bring positive hip-hop
into different communities. Teaching children is a passion they both
share, and hope that their efforts to continue performing these dynamic
shows will fuel future projects that will take them through many
different avenues of education and entertainment. Performance
