Variat Dance

A Black and white event poster has a dancer with a flowing skirt, beaded belt, and crop top. She has monarch butterfly wings and is holding finger cymbals like she has been captured mid-movement. There are flowing black lines around the border, with a doumbek in the bottom center and a row of 3 trees at the top center. Text on the left side of the dancer reads "April 4th-6th, Seattle Washington. NWVilaFest.com" Text on the right reads "shows, workshops, vendors, music"

We are gearing up for a string of performances! First up is NW Vila Festival in Seattle, Washington, where we will be debuting a new piece by Carla Michelle.

A row of dancers lined vertically down the center of the picture frame stands with their torsos tilted over an externally rotated supported standing leg. Their arms are open and slightly cradled, and they are dressed in white flowy skirts with an off-the-shoulder top in a play on a toga. Gold olive leaf headbands glitter in their hair, and coins accent their hips and thighs.

Buried in a pit under the Great Pyramid of Giza about 4,500 years ago, this is the Khufu Ship. When first uncovered, in 1954, you could still smell the scent of the cedar wood. It will be housed in the new Grand Egyptian Museum

3 dancers lay haphazardly on top of each other in a pile of blue and silver fabric, their arms, faces, and hair piled like sleeping dolls

A screenshot from the caption of the dancer torso info picture reads "We launch the date for our 10th edition of Orchidaceae Dance Intensive! We are currently starting to build the week, that will be a full circle of love, community building and wild dreaming. Any wishes or ideas you can write on the comments, we will receive them with care. Every year is special but this year an extra intention for humanity and land, we need it. We have been navigating through dance with a steady decolonizing perspective and an intersectional approach. Our homeland is fusion and we invite movement, lectures, parties to create radical imagination for our street and clubbing dances melted with North African dances. As always we will invite guests and dreams. We move between the physical and subtler realms, calling land and astros to be a part of our journey. If you want to receive every update please write to piny.orchidaceae@gmail.com

Over the tattooed torso of a dancer, text reads "Orchidaceae Dance Intensive. Save the date! August 25th - 31st 2025 Info: piny.orchidaceae@gmail.ckm

Hello! We are Variat Dance Collective based out of Portland, Oregon US. Back in 2020, we filmed this fun jazzy fusion piece by Bevin Victoria right before lockdown. It feels apt to make it our first post. 😁
