Navratri Garba & Raas: Dance in the Circle of Community<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come celebrate Navratri the way it was always meant to be celebrated \u2014 together, in motion, in joy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t your typical dance class. At Still & Moving Center, we’re throwing open the circle for an evening of Garba and Raas that feels less like a lesson and more like a joyful dance party. Dance with us and learn from incredible instructors Sumoha Min and Nada McClellan! No memorized choreography, no pressure to get it “right” \u2014 just rhythm, laughter, and the infectious pulse of community moving as one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how it works: we’ll start simple, teaching the foundational steps everyone needs to join in. Then we invite you into a continuous, ever-turning circle, where you’ll pick up the flow naturally by watching and moving with those around you \u2014 just like generations of dancers have done before you. As the music builds and the energy rises, we’ll layer in new step variations, letting the dance evolve organically, circle by circle, beat by beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

90 minutes of uplifting music and nonstop movement
A welcoming space for all levels \u2014 first-timers and seasoned Garba dancers alike
The true spirit of Navratri: connection over perfection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garba has always been a folk dance of togetherness \u2014 where the magic isn’t in flawless footwork, but in the shared rhythm, the spontaneous laughter, and the collective celebration of light over darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So come as you are, ready to move, sweat, smile, and lose yourself in the circle. Let’s dance Navratri in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For nearly two decades, Still & Moving has marked Diwali, the Indian festival of lights, with a living retelling the world's oldest epic: the Ramayana. What began as a small community gathering \u2014 a story shared among students and teachers \u2014 has grown into a full theatrical production, drawing dozens of performers ranging in age from 5 to 85. This year, for the first time, that story steps onto one of the most storied stages in the Pacific: the Hawai\u02bbi Theatre.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Epic Tale of the Ramayana<\/em> follows Prince Ram and Princess Sita, cast from their kingdom into exile, and the courage, loyalty, and love that carry them through it \u2014 including Sita's abduction by the ten-headed demon king Ravana, and her rescue by the troops Prince Ram and the devoted monkey-warrior Hanuman. At its heart, it's a story about the triumph of good over selfishness, light over darkness \u2014 the very themes Diwali itself celebrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing this beloved tradition to the Hawai\u02bbi Theatre \u2014 with its own century of history as a gathering place for Honolulu's arts and culture \u2014 marks a new chapter for Still & Moving Meditation Fellowship & Still & Moving Community Center, with an invitation for the wider community to witness and participate in this joyous annual celebration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us Friday, November 6, 2026, for a pre-show talk at 6:30 PM offering context on the story and its traditions, with curtain at 7:00 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
