VT P.U.R.E. - VT Chapter of Public Urban Ritual Experiment

What does "PURE - Public Urban Ritual Experiment" mean?

The "P" is for Public. We engage in "guerilla bellydance"-surprising the unsuspecting public with what seem like spontaneous performances. Dancing through the streets, we are seen by thousands of people from all walks of life, people who otherwise may never see this gorgeous, often misunderstood dance form. We also bring attention to different causes that benefit the public, by teaming up with charities and world peace organizations.

"U" stands for Urban. We live in densely populated cities and small towns alike.
Our home is the United States , a global pot brimming with many cultures. Although it's important to honor the roots of Middle Eastern dance and music, in order for our art to be a true reflection of who we are, influences from many other countries will be part of the PURE experience.

"R" is for Ritual. Our dance is a moving meditation. We share our serenity with those around us. Our music is a call to the public, to join us on our journey of transformation. Put them together and you have an entrancing communal ritual.

Last is "E", for Experiment. We take chances. We try new things. Sometimes we fall on our faces, but we always let curiosity and the spirit of exploration guide us. We keep others guessing about what will come next! And we always prepare for the unexpected.

PURE's dance and music are more than steps and notes. Together, they are a living, breathing art form, never stagnant, ever evolving.
