Music, movement, education, and reflection form the foundation of Lyanne Brooks' work. As a curator, connector, cultural steward, and community builder, she continues to bridge Hawaiʻi with the broader worlds of House music, street dance, and club culture.
She is the Founder & Artistic Director of Soulgasm Hawaiʻi, Hawaiʻi's longest running House music gathering, which has hosted DJs, musicians, vocalists, dancers, artists, and communities from across Hawaiʻi, the continental United States, and around the world, while also extending to Maui and the Island of Hawaiʻi through special events, artist exchanges, and community collaborations.
For more than two decades, she has taught freestyle movement, hip hop, and House dance on Oʻahu, with guest workshops on Maui and the Island of Hawaiʻi. Through classes, workshops, choreography, performances, cultural exchange, and faculty roles at dance studios and educational programs, she has helped introduce House dance to wider public audiences in Hawaiʻi.
She also founded Housing Project 360, Hawaiʻi's first school and dance studio dedicated to House dance and a community hub that brought people together through classes, workshops, open sessions, performance opportunities, and gatherings. Housing Project 360 also welcomed internationally recognized dancers and educators representing a broad range of street and club dance styles and cultures.
She founded House Dance Hawaiʻi, an annual freestyle dance competition celebrating self expression, musicality, community, and the spirit of dance.
Lyanne has also contributed to Hawaiʻi's dance community as a performer, choreographer, judge, mentor, organizer, cultural ambassador, and artistic collaborator. She has helped foster connections between local dancers and the broader worlds of street dance, club dance, and House culture, and also served as Hawaiʻi's representative for House Dance International in New York City.
Beyond dance, she also offers one on one Rhythm & Reflection sessions incorporating astrology. Her creative work also extends into aromatherapy through a collaboration with Aʻala Herbal Apothecary, resulting in two custom blends inspired by Soulgasm.
Today, Lyanne continues to bring music, movement, education, and reflection together through The LB Vibe, her broader creative platform encompassing Soulgasm and other artistic projects.
