- What an honor it was to be invited to the 50th Anniversary of @chicagomusical! A big thank you to my friend @johnsefakis for creating a wonderful night of community and for all the work he does running @dancersover40official. 💜💃👠

- I cannot, for the life of me, stop watching Audra’s performance. And I tear up EVERY time?!?!
- My birthday landed on a Monday so I was lucky enough to visit the gardens this weekend (in the pouring rain) in honor of my 27th (!!! 🤨) year. I always feel 1,000 years old at the end of each year’s cycle, but now, interestingly, I’ve never felt so young as well.
- They never tell you how jarring it is to be recognized on the street for the first time… in Times Square, of all places! But it’s so heartwarming to witness the reach of @mentalhealthbway.org in our community. 💗
- Invited to the pre-Tony’s performance of Smash!
- Grateful to be represented in Print/Editorial, TV/Film, and Commercial by my dedicated, phenomenal agent and manager at @nymmg.
- I am nowhere near Patti LuPone, Audra McDonald, or Kecia Lewis when it comes to “Broadway veteran” status. But, unlike Patti, I’m striving to be a white woman in this business who champions compassion and community. THAT is what will propel our art form well into the next century. Not racism.
- Mental health was represented at the Chita Rivera Awards last night! 🧠🎩 What a privilege it was for @mentalhealthbway.org to attend dance’s biggest night and connect with so many who recognize the power mental health resources can have on our industry.
- April flowers ended up bringing May showers, I fear…
- Shake Shack…..you have bedeviled my Friday nights
- Not a bad way to start your morning…especially on International Dance Day! A few behind-the-scenes moments from today’s shoot with Katie Mollison (@kamerashoots.nyc) — the BEST!
- As artists and creative people, we tend to draw immense feeling and “essence” from archetypal energies that can be found in literature, lore, mythology, and history. As someone who also considers themselves an intuitive, I constantly find myself calling in these archetypal energies through (1/7)
- Naturally, after a day of three dance auditions, a shoot with FotoLab is totally normal and not at all crazy. ‘PSYKHE,’ butterfly-scorpion-warrior-princess vision by me, dress by Desigual. 🦋🦂🌀🧿 Photos by FotoLabStudio.
- It’s time for a formal introduction — I’m Emerson Valentina. 🦋 I'm a theatre artist, VO artist, & professional dancer who’s been based in Manhattan for the past 8 years. I'm the founder & director of @mentalhealthbway.org. I have a list of certifications in metaphysical & spiritual modalities.
- This marketing is brat
- Just left a ballet class in Manhattan where the instructor made two people cry while the rest of us danced on eggshells. Tell me, when will “tough love” instruction be a thing of the past? P.S. — the immense stress didn’t make anyone dance better, FYI
