5 Big Island DJ Nights to Catch Feb 5–12

Can you feel the bass in the trade winds?

Warm nights, stars peeking through the palms, and that first kick drum rolling across the jungle. Friday’s shaping up magic with the Bee Dance crew, where sound healing melts into a sweaty, smiling dance floor.

Ever wanted to greet sunrise with music or freestyle with your ʻohana? From a morning ecstatic dance with keiki care to a free cypher night, this week’s got every vibe covered.

Don’t-miss moments you’ll be talking about

The heart-thumper is Friday at Hawaiian Sanctuary with Bee Dance: Sasha Rose + Sarita Sol. Expect world beats, tribal rhythms, and a sound healing opener that lands you soft before liftoff. When the room drops into that shared breath, you’ll feel it in your chest.

There’s also the weekly community edition, Bee Dance at Hawaiian Sanctuary. It’s that classic Puna dance floor—bare feet on wood, smiles for days, and a 6:00–7:00 pm Sound Healing with Creative Frequencies before DJs take it to 10:30 pm. Bring your favorite flow toys and a curious heart.

If your body loves a gentler start, roll into Saturday morning at Garden Temple Ecstatic Dance (Saturdays). Sun filtering through the trees, donation $10–20, and a Keiki Zone so parents can breathe, move, and reconnect. Imagine your feet on cool wood as the breeze brings in plumeria.

And when Wednesday hits, sharpen your wordplay at Cypher Night – Freestyle Rap at La Hiki Ola Kava Bar. Hosted by DJ TigerHeart, it’s free, all ages, and as supportive as it gets—sip kava, cheer on the next verse, maybe drop your own.
