Pure Dance was a UK radio station specialising in dance music. It broadcast on digital satellite television,[1] and by Internet, in Windows Media, RealPlayer and mp3PRO.

The channel began falling silent for long periods of time in January 2006,[2] with its website and webstreams going offline. It was removed from the Sky EPG in March 2006 after having not transmitted any audio for over two weeks.
