Footloose !
It's about having fun, she says. It's never too hard or too complicated. Muve is unrehearsed and totally spontaneous. Kunkel insists anybody can do it. For 10 years now, Kunkel has been teaching muve in Honolulu. Currently there are classes at the Pauahi Community Center in Chinatown (Tuesdays, 10 a.m., free), YMCA Central (Wednesdays, 10 a.m., for members) and the Moiliili Community Center (Saturdays, 3:30 p.m., donations accepted). Now Kunkel has produced two DVDs to share muve with the world. There's "Family muve" and "Mellow muve" ($28.95 each, muve.com). "Declare yourself an instrument," Kunkel says, "meaning just be part of the music, not enjoying it vicariously by listening."

The idea is to feel free to enjoy music on a very personal level and be active in a physical way by connecting to the music, feeling the music," says Maggie Kunkel, the founder of muve, a form of free-style dance. The concept goes back to her childhood, dancing any which way in her living room with the music blasting.
