About the national PURE organization

     PURE is collective of dancers and
drummers who take music and dance out into the streets for the purposes of healing and peace.
     Movements from ancient sacred world
traditions including Middle Eastern, Chinese, Romani gypsy, Israeli folk, flamenco, Indian dance and drumming are incorporated into the
PURE experience.

     Our dance and ritual create a community, drawing people together both
emotionally and physically into a shared sense of the divine. Dancers and
musicians travel down sidewalks and into parks and other public spaces to share their love of dance and music with the public and to pay homage to specific sites.
     We also perform at charity events, benefits and community festivals to bring peace and goodwill and to help raise awareness and money for other nonprofits.

     
PURE (Public Urban Ritual Experiment) is a sponsored project at The Field,
a not-for-profit, tax exempt, 501(c)(3) organization. Gifts made through that organization are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

     PURE costumes are designed for ease and
affordability. Female dancers generally wear black skirts or and black or blue tops with blue veils, coin or tassel belts and flowers in their hair. Male dancers wear an adapted version of this black costume with blue accents.
PURE musicians wear black pants or kilts and black PURE t-shirts.
