PURE FUNK HISTORY
Our work is highly regarded by Activate Performing Arts, the dance and theatre development organisation for Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole, since our first platform event at Bridport Arts Centre in February 2006. We also undertake work for schools through DepARTure Arts and other arts in education organisations, and extended schools projects as well as Primary Arts Workshops (for teachers).
SCHOOL COLLEGE AND YOUTH WORKSHOPS
Workshops can be run as a full day, a half day or a short taster session. Please contact us for further information about your potential workshop event. We can tailor a workshop to most needs, and run projects that can last anywhere from a solid week to a series over a number of weeks, resulting in work created by both Pure Funk and the participants ready for presentation!

- Workshops are structured with the aim to empower and help build self confidence in individuals, regardless of whether or not they have had previous dance experience.
- The workshops are about inspiring energy and enthusiasm, working as part of a team, but also striving to create a sense of importance and belonging in each individual, within the context of the workshop.
- Pure Funk challenges both body and mind, promotes teamwork, teaches new skills and provides a feeling of achievement (plus it involves lots of fun!)
All Pure Funk teachers have Enhanced CRB checks, insurance of up to £10million, and variety of dance training and experience.
