Welcome to PURE DC. 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.
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.
Dancers and musicians will be travelling down the sidewalks and into subways and public spaces to share their love of dance and music with the public and to pay homage to specific sites.
PURE needs dancers and drummers. Are you interested in bringing peace to the world through dancing with intent? Are you passionate about drumming for a cause? Do you have at least a year of Middle Eastern dance or drumming experience? Please email Elliah at puredc@gmail.com and let her know what you would like to help with. Or come to a practice! Please go to www.puredc.org or www.puredance.org for more information.
