Ecstatic Dance ADMISSION : $10 Per Adult PARKING : $3 -- PLEASE CARPOOL (FREE PARKING -- 3 Or More People In The Vehicle) Start every week on your dancing feet at Kalani's Ecstatic Dance. Explore the rhythms of life however you like with movement and dance. The sacred heart of our Big Island dance experience. Join the Puna dance 'ohana as we come together to connect in an inspirational, expansive, open, generative, and inclusive way. Ecstatic Dance is the seed of a special community experience that will grow to be even more beautiful as it once again takes root and flourishes. Ecstatic Dance is a journey devoted to self-expression, community building & empowerment. A safe place to move your body, heart, and soul. There are no expectations on how to dance. Our beautiful wooden dance floor is an open canvas for the art of movement. All ages and backgrounds are welcome. IMPORTANT : Hello! Just a friendly reminder that this Sunday is part of our media week at Kalani! There will be a videographer to help us capture some of our Sunday magic for promotional purposes. Thank you so much for working with us on this. We are aware that this is not part of the traditional Ecstatic Dance guidelines and hope that nobody feels inconvenienced. Kris and Shon want to mark off a certain area safe for people that don't want to be caught on video while dancing; probably along the plywood wall. Please, spread the word so that no one is taken off guard by the presence of cameras this Sunday at dance! There will be a special drone shot that swoops in from the back towards the stage, but we will keep the drone flying to a minimum. Thanks again! FEATURING : GRATITONE Smile inducing medicine.
