🌿 What is Bee Dance?

Bee Dance is a sacred community offering birthed in Puna as a fresh alternative to traditional ecstatic dance. While it shares roots in intentional, free-form movement and reverence for the dance floor, Bee Dance is not an ecstatic dance – and proudly so.

We created Bee Dance to:

• Break free from rigid formats like the 5 Rhythms structure
• Offer an underground-style gathering that’s raw, real, and alive
• Provide a consistent weekly space for movement, connection, and inner exploration

Bee Dance is a weekly ritual, a space to release, recharge, and reconnect to self and community through sound and movement.

✨ What to Expect

• 6:00 – 7:00 PM: Sound Healing Journey Begin your night with a grounding sound bath led by rotating local practitioners using crystal bowls, drums, chimes, and voice. It’s a time to land, breathe, and connect.
• 7:00 – 10:30 PM: DJ Set & Open Dance Floor Move your body freely to beats curated by local and guest DJs. Expect global bass, tribal rhythms, experimental soundscapes, and deep, driving grooves.
• Elixir Bar Open All Night Sip on ceremonial cacao and house-brewed ʻawa (kava), both grown here on the land. Nourishment for the spirit and soma.
• Community Guidelines
  • No talking on the dance floor
  • No photos or videos
  • Respect each other’s space and sovereignty
  • Come as you are – move as you feel

🐝 Why We Dance: The Origin of Bee Dance

Bee Dance was born out of a desire to offer something uniquely Puna – raw, grounded, and real. It honors the lineage of dance as healing but doesn’t follow the path of ecstatic dance. Instead, we offer something all our own.

Puna needed a consistent, community-rooted, underground-style gathering – and so we built one, from the soil up. Every week, our dance floor becomes a hive of creative expression, shadow play, heart-opening movement, and collective joy.
