As an artist, I love creating new characters and twisting the norm. Burlesque has allowed me to dazzle the audience while being comfortable in my skin; tell a story while recognizing and appreciating my own body. The energy in burlesque is unique and wonderful and supportive, and surrounding myself in it allows me to carry that energy elsewhere. Elsa Emerald is my over-arching name for different characters and acts.
