SUNDAY KALANI ECSTATIC DANCE // APRIL 19TH

⚙️The Technician⚙️

A fixture in the Hawai‘i Island ecstatic dance scene in recent years and a regular guest facilitator at Kalani Ecstatic Dance, Danny Waddell—also known as The Technician—returns to pilot the ship this Sunday.

Rooted in the belief that music and movement can shift states, open hearts, and restore balance, his sets create a container for journeys that invite dancers to drop deep into themselves and into the heart of the human experience.

With a sound that moves beyond genre, Danny meticulously crafts his sets with intention, offering soundscapes designed for depth, surrender, and liberation through the embrace of it all.

His relationship with dance music spans over three decades, beginning in the Atlanta rave scene, evolving through the Orlando club circuit, and finding renewed purpose within the Hawai‘i Island ecstatic dance community.

The evolution of his style mirrors the evolution of his own consciousness—shaped by years of exploration, practice, presence, and deep listening.

Danny is grateful for each opportunity to co-create and learn within community, and to walk a personal and collective path of discovery, healing, transformation, and cultivation of all the good things.

SUNDAY KALANI ECSTATIC DANCE // JANUARY 19th

Announcement!!

With a last minute cancellation by our Musical Facilitator this Sunday, we asked ourselves who we could ask to fill this crucial role with reverence and care on such short notice…

One musical facilitator who hasn’t led our ritual in almost a year came to mind right away.
He’s a dancer foremost so being on stage isn’t his first choice. In fact he often says he’d prefer if Ecstatic Dance wasn’t about the DJ at all. That definitely factors into him being at the top of our minds.
Taking on this role on such short notice is such a big ask so we’re extremely grateful (and excited!) for this dancer being flexible and resilient in our dire time of need.
Thank you Sky Makai, for stepping into this crucial role once again!!

Sky Makai is one the facilitators of the original Ecstatic Dance on Hawai'i Island.
A dancer at heart, Sky joined Ecstatic Dance at Kalani Honua in the early days when Ecstatic Dance was only a handful of people and unheard of except as a concept in Gabrielle Roth’s seminal book: Maps to Ecstasy
Sky began providing opening music with Ecstatic Dance’s founder, Max Fathom. Later, Sky took part in the original Ecstatic Dance Facilitator workshops, becoming one of Kalani Ecstatic Dance's core team of facilitators.
Staying true to the roots of Ecstatic Dance, Sky's sets observe a distinguishable arc. These musical journeys pay homage to Gabrielle Roth's influential practice of observing and moving through a “Wave” of musical selections. The practice involves considering how waves are inherent in all of nature; our life cycles, our relationships, and in our most intimate moments.
Sky’s musical journeys are designed to reach intense and energetic ecstasy while also encouraging introspection and emotional release.
We love Sky’s passion and dedication to our Ritual Community Movement Journey… his dedication to personal growth… and his deep love of helping others. We’re so excited for Sky to lead this Sunday!
