I want to take a moment to talk about #ptsd on here. Covid nearly killed me in 2020 (not in a she is being dramatic type way, but in a very literal was gasping for air and my oxygen was too low type one), and it has been a long 6years of healing towards some semblance of feeling more like myself. I can still only eat 5 safe foods, take a ton of meds to function as well as I currently do, and a whole slew of other things everyday that no one really cares to know about. Because of my Covid infection I now have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and I spent years afraid of touching the floor because chemicals, cat dander, and all sorts of lotions/potions can make my breathing tight from just getting them on my skin.
This video is proof of healing, and life - this journey has been (and continues to be) very difficult. I’m grateful for something as seemingly small as doing Floorwork again… it is a sign of wellness instead of one of illness; thank you, G-d and therapy, and thank you to everyone who has shown up in a million small and big ways as I have continued to dig my way through it.

Might f* around and go to the studio at 8:30am on Sundays to be able to do the quiet and unglamorous parts of my practice alone and maskless. Thank you for the safe (for me) space @bdcnyc 🙏🩷 - I could not be more grateful for this time in the studio, and to be allowed to feel a bit more myself.

We’re beyond excited to welcome Emily Bufferd back to DanceOne Summit for 2026. 👏
A dynamic choreographer, producer, and educator, Emily is a driving force in the NYC dance community.
Every dancer is welcome in Emily's class, and this is your chance to experience it!
The NYC dance community allowed me a seat at the table when I was barely 20yrs old(thank you), and I am going to continue pulling up chairs for as many as I can, forever.
We will hit 200 Young Choreographers presented in June; a milestone in our 15th year that brings me both pride and joy.
Thank you to everyone who supports us in presenting #thefutureofdance

Shoutout to my beautiful and supportive Mama in the 4th slide, and to that little girl in the last one who loved dance too much, this one was for you. I watched young choreographers get a standing ovation at @ycfdance at The Joyce Theater on Saturday night and I will hold that vision with me for a very long time.
YCF has now presented the work of 187 young choreographers and it brings me immense joy and pride to know that we have been able to help people pursue their dreams… and we will continue doing so for as long as we are able.
Thank you to anyone and everyone who has ever contributed to YCF; I firmly believe that teamwork makes the dream work, and this moment was made possible because of you.
