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 will be 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 in Manhattan.

(Poem written by Jezibell)

We move with reverence and mirth,
Dancing the rhythms of the earth,
Seeking the balance between land and tribe,
Ever unfolding, ever alive.

With every breath, we purify,
With every step we sanctify,
Through the heart we consecrate,
Through the body, celebrate.

We are whole, we are here,
We are powerful and clear,
We are centered, we are sure,
We are open, we are PURE -
PURE in focus, PURE in essence,
, PURE in presence,

In lines of rippling symmetry,
Then circling 'round in unity,
Encompassing duality,
Embodying community.

Across the sky our blue veils swirl -
We bring our blessings to the world!
