Deeogo Oliveira, 33, born in Porto, has maintained his passion for dance since he was 9 years old. In his career, he considers Ricardo Pais's ‘Al mada nada’ (2014) a turning point where he rediscovered the skills he had acquired in Breaking and transformed them into his artistic career. He also highlights his recent nomination by the Portuguese Society of Authors (SPA) for best dancer in Jonathan Uliel Saldanha's play ‘Lago Libidinal’ (2023) and the completion of his Master's degree in Choreographic Creation at ESD.

As a performer, he has worked with Ricardo Pais in ‘Al mada nada’, Vitor Hugo Pontes in ‘Fall’, Né Barros in ‘Revoluções’, Willi Dorner and Companhia Instável in ‘Ballet de causa única’, Radar 360 in “Circoonferencia”, Ensemble Sociedade de Atores in ‘Vivo ama Morta’, Jorge Gonçalves in ‘Especular o que há entre nós’, Helder Seabra in ‘In Absentia’, Jonathan Uliel Saldanha in “3xDrillz” and ‘Lago Libidinal’, Projecto Cardo in ‘As cores da água’, Jaime Monsanto in ‘Os sobreviventes’, Clara Andermatt in ‘Do Terreiro ao Mundo’, among others.

As a choreographer, he made his debut in 2018 with ‘SOLO’, a co-creation with director Manuel Tur, “Kokoro” with Ana Isabel Castro, and ‘ninguém’, an independent creation and performance at the invitation of Erva Daninha and the Municipal Theatre of Porto. He choreographed ‘A Night in the Belly of the Beast’ at the invitation of Ensemble for the Porto Municipal Theatre and ‘Constelações’ by Projeto Cardo with the music conservatories of Braga and Guimarães. At the same time, he developed ‘A Coragem de ser Eu’ (The Courage to be Me), a trilogy of plays that were the subject of study for the completion of his Master's Degree in Choreographic Creation and Professional Practices at ESD.

In 2025, he premiered ‘Quimera,’ a co-creation with Filipa Francisco under the artistic direction of John Romão in a work with communities, and ‘O inútil também se celebra,’ a creation at the invitation of the Balleteatro professional school, premiered at the Coliseu do Porto.

Having won several national and international titles, he was recognised and supported by the National Olympic Committee (COP) in 2022 to represent Portugal in the sport of Breaking.

He is a teacher of Movement and Interpretation, having taught at the Academia Contemporânea do Espetáculo (ACE), Conservatório de Dança do Norte (CDN), Balleteatro Escola Profissional, Oficina Zero, Escola Artística da Jobra, Pallco Performing Arts School and Conservatory, Instituto Nacional de Artes do Circo (INAC), Formação Avançada em Interpretação e Criação Coreográfica (FAICC), AZA dance Program, Companhia Paulo Ribeiro, among others.
