Big Island DJ Week: 3 dances to move you (Feb 13–20)

DJ Energy This Week: 3 Big Island dances to move you (Feb 13–20)

Feel that cool February breeze? It’s the kind that carries basslines through the palms and leaves your skin tingling like sea spray at dusk. If your pau hana heart is craving a barefoot dance floor, this week’s got you covered—jungle glow on Friday and a sunny sway on Saturday.

Friday’s heartbeat is the high-vibe Bee Dance: Namaha + Kay Chi at Hawaiian Sanctuary. It eases in with sound healing at 6:00 PM, then the floor opens and the energy builds. Namaha and Kay Chi know how to ride a wave—expect deep, melodic swells and that collective exhale when the whole ʻohana drops in.

If you love the ritual of it, the recurring Bee Dance at Hawaiian Sanctuary keeps the Friday rhythm steady, 6:00–10:30 PM. Come early for the sound bath glow, stay for the jungle night sky and a dance floor that feels like family.

And when Saturday morning calls, roll into Garden Temple Ecstatic Dance (Saturdays). It’s sunshine on your shoulders, feet in flow, and big smiles by noon. Donation-based ($10–20) with a keiki zone so parents can catch their groove—light, uplifting, and just right for a fresh start.

Here’s the vibe map this week: Night owls, sink into Friday’s jungle pulse. Wellness seekers, catch the sound healing and soften into the set. ʻOhana crew, Saturday’s ecstatic morning is your gentle, heart-open lane.
