MamaLele (Lori Carroll) began creating ecstatic dance sets in 2024 at the age of 61. Lori had danced for decades in the Bay Area but never explored the DJ side of things until she and her husband moved to the Big Island of Hawaii in 2020.

After moving to the Big Island, Lori discovered the closest dance was a three hour drive away. Frustrated with this situation, she and her daughter (who also relocated to Hawaii) began an Ecstatic Dance in Hawi on the north side of the Big Island Hawaii in 2023. They renamed their enterprise to Rhythm Sanctuary Kohala in 2025 and moved to a larger venue. For a while, Brenna, her daughter served as the only DJ for the dance. However, needing people to create Edance sets, Lori gave it a try and loved it.  Her sets always include a little play and a lot of joy. She selects music based on what she would love to explore on the dance floor and sculpts sets that dancers can get lost in. For Lori, a set needs to set up an emotional release for the dancers, otherwise why dance.
