PURE FUNK DANCE COMPANY.
COMPANY MISSION: To inspire, challenge, and nurture committed young performers.
To be a professional platform of growth for talented young dancer/choreographers.
Founded in 2005 by current Artistic Director, Amy Beveridge, Pure Funk is a dance performance group well known for developing adaptable dancers and choreographers in the Bournemouth and Poole area.
Pure Funk’s passion and focus is commercial dance, and the company's choreographic style works around the variety of strengths the dancers develop, often fusing classical, commercial, contemporary, and street.
Over the years Pure Funk has become a strong platform for budding choreographers and performers, many of whom have gone on to teach, run their own dance organisations, or pursue careers in the professional industry.
Pure Funk Dance Co sessions are held at Winton YMCA Dance Studios:
Seniors 15-21yrs - Thursdays 6:45-9:15pm.
Juniors 9-14yrs (Girl Got Funk) - Mondays 5-7pm.
Contact Amy now for full details of how to join the senior or junior dance company, including upcoming OPEN CLASS dates - designed for potential new members to try out.
NEW from 2012.
As part of the company class sessions Pure Funk now offers training in the brand new UDO Syllabus, the first street dance syllabus written and delivered by industry professionals. Launched April 2012, it is for those who wish to improve in all hip hop styles by learning technique and foundations. The syllabus works perfectly alongside Pure Funk's performance work, aiding individual progression in every dancer.

| 4.75 4.7 out of 5 - Pure Funk is an amazing dance school, full of incredible talent. The teachers are highly skilled, but put fun and energy into their classes. My children have learnt so many types of streetdance from these classes, and I would highly recommend Pure Funk for kids and adults wanting to learn streetdance and have some fun with dance! If you get a chance to check out their yearly shows at Poole Lighthouse, its well worth it - as good as any Streetdance film you have seen!!

| 5.05 5.0 out of 5 - Our daughter has just completed her first year with PF performance crew which not only raised her self confidence, but also self belief in her ability as a dancer. The discipline and commitment that is necessary for success comes across in all their performances which are innovative and breathtaking.

| 5.05 5.0 out of 5 - I've attended a few of Pure Funk's more beginner classes and have found all the teachers exceptionally supportive and talented. All the classes have provided an atmosphere where you feel comfortable to try new things and you leave feeling as though you have really achieved something! The performance group are a very talented, professional and fun group I was honoured to provide conditioning workouts for!

| 5.05 5.0 out of 5 - I have attended many of pure funk's dance classes and also belong to their performance company. The advanced adult classes which are run on a monday night are always of a high standard consisting of a thorough warm up and challenging routine. The routines are different every week and are based around the hip hop style but always slightly vary in style. Every week without fail i leave that dance class with a sense of achievement and i always have a really enjoyable time. As i said i also belong to the performance group which you get in to through an audition, we perform at numerous events across bournemouth and have rehearsals every sunday. The rehearsals are always conducted in a very professional manner and we get allot done in that time. Pure funk is run by two very inspirational and passionate people called Amy and Exlis. They are both exceptionally talented individuals and good at what they do but aside from that they are supportive towards all of us and are always approachable.

The leaders are committed and enthusiastic and very supportive and believe in giving young people opportunities to perform at various events and shows building confidence and musicality. I would thoroughly recommend them to anybody looking to start classes in commercial dance as it has built up my self confidence and given me opportunities that i will remember forever.
