Ecstatic Dance

Dance is a journey. It’s up to you to determine the destination. Music is a vehicle, an expression of infinite variation that can touch any point in time and space. And all the movers and shakers on the Big Island know to be prepared for a new world to explore when Moonfire is at the helm of the ship. On warm currents of organic sounds, Moonfire transports dancers across a multi-textured soundscape layered with tribal beats and rhythmic world fusion. 

Moonfire has been a force of nature on the local dance scene since the fabled “full moon party days” when she was a young dancer with a passion for world beats that propelled her from the dance floor to the decks. Honoring her craft on turntables at renegade parties that magically appeared all over the island. Her music was mixed with the beauty of the island surrounding it—crashing waves, whistling winds, twinkling stars, chirping frogs, singing whales, and whatever else mother nature brought to the show.

From those wild days, Moonfire’s flames grew until they consumed the speakers of our favorite local dance events—weekly gatherings like Ecstatic Dance and private campouts like Petting Zoo, Candyland, and Manafest. She has also played at events such as Burning Man, Alchemeyez, and Earth Dance, and she has had the honor of opening for acts such as Headflux, Tribal Dreams, and Imagika Om.

It often takes a dancer to know what the dance floor desires. Moonfire nurtures the senses with her feminine round sound. Conveying a sense of the divine, her music is rooted in spirituality and filled with lifting instrumentals, drumming, and chanting. Her curvaceous melodies with big bass drops celebrate both the ceremony and the raw impulse of dance.
