Pure Dance Experience at Campus Martius Park

On July 15th, 2006, Detroit enjoyed a dance experience. The Public Urban Ritual Experiment, PURE, again joined to spread their spirit of peace and healing through out the city. The group began at the 6:00 on the roof top parking of Cobo Hall. They proceeded to the people mover station and advanced to the Spirit of Detroit Statue, then to the Renaissance Center, Waterside Park, then on to Campus Martius Fountain, to their final stop, Greektown at approximately 8:00 in front of Greektown's newest jewel, Mosaics. 30 dancers, alluringly circled through Greektown, moving in unison to the rhythm of the drums skillfully guiding the group. They formed a chain and together spiraled through the restaurant's crowded interior. Smiling gleefully at patrons, and sharing their own gentle brand of delight;appearing much as graceful Goddess' of ancient lore. On lookers and well wishers gathered with the group for an afterglow party at the New Parthenon following the performance.

PURE's facilitator for Detroit, Roxann Scotella, describes PURE, "PURE is a collective of dancers and drummers who take music and dance out into the streets for the purposes of healing and peace." The dance movements are from ancient sacred world traditions including Middle Eastern, Chinese, Romani Gypsy, Israeli folk, Flamenco, Indian dance and drumming, all blend to create the PURE experience.

Scotella and PURE members offer classes, performance, and are available for parties and workshop sessions. Don't miss out on this latest Girl's night out option. Join in the fun. Speaking from experience, it's a night of pure liberation. Just relax and move to the music.
