Shakti Dance Movement

Shakti Dance Movement is sister troupe to Devi Dance Company. Both are under the direction of Kalae Kaina, who is a master at her craft. I have watched both troupes perform at Ala Moana Center Stage and at Art Zone for their fundraiser.
Beautiful, lovely ladies with wonderful energy, smiles, and dance! You will feel the music and dance surge through you as you watch! I’ve seen them dance with a number of props, including huge feathered fans and swords! They also dance to to all types of music! A wonderful fusion of music, dance, and visuals!

They are available to perform at private events. I’ve already made up my mind that they will perform at my wedding!

Shakti Dance Movement is definitely the best belly dance troupe in Hawaii. I first saw Shakti perform around 2002 and it was jaw-​dropping, mesmerizing… I just couldn’t believe how there was so much stage presence, grace, beauty, technique, muscle control, talent, and the list goes on. Throughout the years, my friends and I would make a point to go to an event if Shakti was performing. They are definitely worth it. My friend has also hired Shakti to perform at a private house party and all the guests were amazed.
Ever wanted to learn how to belly dance? Or just a little curious? I highly recommend classes w/​Kalae Kaina as she is also an amazing teacher. She’ll motivate and challenge you and even push you above what you think your limits are. Check out the website
for current class times and information.

I have had the opportunity to watch Shakti Dance Movement perform on several occasions and in my opinion, they certainly live up to and exceed their reputation as being Hawaii’s premier Tribal Fusion bellydance troupe. They conduct themselves in a professional manner and are all individually as well as collectively talented.
The ladies of Shakti Dance Movement never fail to deliver an outstanding as well as interesting performance regardless of what the occasion might be. In saying this, their style of dance is versatile and fitting for all types of events. They are always changing things up in terms of costumes as well props.
It always makes me feel wonderful watching these lovely ladies perform as they connect wonderfully with the audience and I always look forward to what they have next in store.
