PURE stands for Public Urban Ritual Experiment. We are a collective of professional & amatuer dancers and drummers who take music and dance out into the streets and theatres 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. Dance and ritual create community, drawing people together both emotionally and physically into a shared sense of the divine. As the community participates, no one is a stranger any longer.
In public happenings, dancers and musicians travel down the sidewalks and public spaces to share their love of dance and music with the public and to pay homage to specific sites. PURE's message is peace and healing through dance and rhythm.
GO PURE is the Orlando branch of the international organization of PURE, founded in New York City in 2004 by Kaeshi Chai and Darshan, aka: Cammi Vance. As members of a PURE chapter, we are a part of something bigger than just another group in town. We are part of an international community of dancers who all know the Foundation Choreography, we can visit other branches and participate, we can schedule simultaneous events around the world to promote peace & healing through music and dance. We can change the world with PURE one shimmy at a time!
GO PURE performs at local fundraisers to raise awareness for charities and also hosts "guerilla happenings" in public spaces to bring awareness of peace and healing through ritual drum & dance.
