Ecstatic Dance
We at Rhythm Sanctuary Kohala host a weekly freestyle movement dance led by our house DJ’s. Following the classic Ecstatic dance model of a dance wave, our music mixes many genres such as worldwide, electronic, afro-beat, house, bass, jazz, etc. Started in January of 2025, we are growing in popularity and love visitors! If you find yourself on the north end of the Big Island on a weekend, think of dropping by. At present we do not host an opening circle but do hold a closing circle at the end of the 90 minutes. The space is partially inside with a dance floor and partially outside on the lawn. Kieki’s often play on the lawn as parents and family dance inside or out.

Dance Guidelines
Ecstatic Dance – 3 Simple Guidelines
1. We Dance without shoes (or: We Dance Barefoot)
This allows us to connect more fully with the Ground (socks are OK)
If you have a physical condition that you need dance shoes, then OK
2. We Dance without words (or: We Dance with Body Language)
This makes it easier to be in a Meditative State
No Verbal Instruction from the Facilitators
No Talking from the Dancers
3. We Dance as We Are
No Drugs/Alcohol, No Phones, No Camera/Video, No Scents, No Expectations, No Judgements, No Shoulds, No Oughts… Just Be Yourself; With Respect for Ourselves, the Space, and One Another.
