About
Hi, Im Jonathan Valdez - a professional dancer, choreographer and stage performer.
Before joining Hong Kong Disneyland, i served as the Artistic Director of Drag-ons Philippines, a professional drag group recognized in the country for showcasing multi-talented drag artist. In this role, I directed performances, managed schedules, and coordinated productions- developing strong skills in time management, organization and leadership. It was also where my interest in video editing and digital storytelling first begun, as i started creating content to highlight our shows and artists..
I then spent 17 years performing at Hong KOng Disneyland, appearing in The Festival of the Lion King and The Golden Mickeys Show. I was honored to become Dance Captain in my second year, leading, teaching, and inspiring fellow performers both on and off stage.
While working and residing in Hong Kong, where I became a permanent resident, I also pursued my entrepreneurial side. I founded Circle by Jonathan, a handmade accessories brand where I personally designed and crafted each piece. I managed not only the creative side but also the content creation and marketing, handling product photo shoot and turning them into engaging short-forms videos. Through this, I further honed my ability in visual storytelling, branding, and fashion-focused content creation.
Now, Im building on all those experiences, combining my background in the performing arts, leadership and entrepreneurship, with my passion for video editing, creative content, and digital projects.
When I'm not working, you'll often find me in the garden (I love DIY landscaping and design),experimenting with new editing projects, or enjoying time and care for my family.
