Deviant Dance constantly updates their creations—here are the ongoing themes:

1. •    Calypso's Treasure is a beautiful farce about a day in the life of seashell-clad sea nymphs and their underwater games, including the traditional jellyfish dance
   

2. •       Metallurgy of Magic tells of spirits made of pure gold who live in the sky, creating the metals of earth and rewarding mortals who measure up to the golden mean
   

3. •      Summer Dreams a band of traveling gypsies lures the townsfolk into a vivid dream with their colorful costumes and dancing until the crowd is hypnotized
   

4. •    Dark Machinations get a taste of dark merrymaking with this voodoo-inspired tale of the recently departed
   

History

Created in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2003 by Grace and Qamar, Deviant Dance was born from an obsession with bellydance and fairy tales. After relocating to Portland Oregon, having various incarnations and amazing guest performers, Deviant Dance Company continues to tell wonderful tales.

Deviant Dance Company's current members are Grace Constantine, Erika Ryn, Stephanie, Veena, and Sheila. Erika and Stephanie met Grace in 2008, while they were dedicated students of Grace's in her advanced class. The two became part of Deviant Dance in 2009. Veena began study with Grace in 2011, and became Deviant Dance’s newest member soon after. Sheila is Grace's younger sister; now attending Columbia University, Sheila performs with Deviant Dance every summer.

Grace devises the heart of the story, choreography, visual presence and sound, while Erika, Stephanie, Veena, and Sheila each imbue the tale with their own unique interpretation and style, giving the story luster. The dance is forged with care and dedication, fashioning mesmerizing technique with a sheen of playful sensuality.
