An extended, international family
When we started PURE back in 2004 we imagined it would be a great way for local performers to collaborate and explore. We didn't expect the outpouring of international interest but quickly recognized that PURE appealed to a need that transcended local communities. Now PURE has chapters from around the world.
Over the years we've had chapters, and members, come and go but that's just part of working with a community. Focus shifts for everyone over time and we appreciate that. Past, present and new members are welcome with open arms.
In 2013 we hosted our first PURE Conference as a means for chapters and like-minded individuals and organizations to meet and exchange ideas.
Get involved
We invite you to contact any of our chapters listed to the right. They are all wonderful, welcoming, people and we're sure they'd love to hear from you. It doesn't matter if you have a background in music or dance. There's always some way to get involved.

Dues
Every chapter pays annual dues that help us cover operating costs such as the upkeep of the web site and the creation of new programs. View more information about this.
Volunteer
Want to volunteer? We can use any skill: from envelope-stuffing, to handing out postcards and flyers when the dancers and musicians go out on processions. Please contact a branch near you to figure out how you can help.
