Introducing funk4soul

Funk4Soul is the dance-child of Lee Pazmino and Janey Madamba, a production project that plans to introduce something new to the dance scene with stylized images and highly engaging performances and choreography.

Established in early 2007, Funk4Soul includes individuals bound together by their shared passion to dance, perform, and most importantly entertain.

The project serves as an outlet to train and inspire other dancers while showcasing Pazmino's and Madamba's well-known styles of choreography; styles which are informed by a fusion of martial arts, ballet, and highly defined movements and steps. Pazmino’s diligence and interdisciplinary approach demonstrates his versatility and commitment towards “thinking outside the box.” Both he and Madamba are revolutionary, fluent in the language and architecture of the diverse world of dance.  Madamba's earthy, sensual style flows through all of her work. Funk4Soul offers hip-hop, jazz, and Latin influenced dance lessons, workshops and projects, all over the Bay Area, for individuals, groups, and classrooms. Funk4Soul is dedicated to serving children, youth and adults, with the intention of supporting, challenging and transforming aspiring, intermediate, and seasoned dancers from all backgrounds and orientations.

We are a small collective eager and willing to sustain and advance the creative processes that drive dance communities across the Bay Area, and strive to enhance and expand our  membership, styles and commitments towards the multitude of methods with which dance shapes and informs political consciousness.

Our dream is to create works of illuminating beauty and provide individuals the opportunity to experience the depth of expression that is possible through dance.

Dancing and entertaining are Pazmino and Madamba’s main focus, but Funk4Soul also takes pride in maintaining a positive vibe and a sense of friendship among its members, a vibe which is present in all of their performances.

Please look around, and make yourself at home with us.
