EDANCE

ECSTATIC DANCE

SUNDAY MORNINGS

Rise and shine with us every Sunday morning at the mothership of the dance that changed the world! Ecstatic Dance at Kalani created the template for this worldwide phenomenon of weekly community dances held as ritual dance experience. A beloved modern tradition that transformed our local community and the lives of thousands of dancers from around the globe.

Each Sunday opens with an invigorating yoga warm up led by Megan Yogini. Next we flow into the opening circle, and then a two and a half hour classic Ecstatic Dance, and then closing circle.

Our Sunday dances have long been the heartbeat of the Big Island dance scene; a rhythmic pulse of expression and connection. An outlet for the body, mind and spirit, the container is held to safely move through all levels of emotional release. Let’s dance our prayers together!
