Ukrainian female aerial dancer

[ShaneIDEOW]

There’s a certain voyeurism involved in being an aerial dancer. Every night, dozens of pairs of eyes turn upward, watching every movement, every arch of the body, every tiny ripple of muscle. This doesn’t bother me much, no, it’s become a sort of therapy. For someone who grew up in the gritty outskirts of Odessa, Ukraine, where to be seen too much was dangerous, this is my liberation. It started as me pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone, but it has become much more. It has become a celebration of my body, my capabilities, and most importantly, my confidence.

Finding that confidence was a journey, just like mastering the dance. As an aerial dancer, I am not hidden behind the newest collections of fancy garments; it’s just me, bare to the world in both a physical and emotional sense. That vulnerability can still hit me sometimes, right before I go on stage. I look at the younger girls with their firm bodies and unlined faces, and I feel a pang of insecurity. But then I remember that I have something they don’t – the powerful armour of age and wisdom that only experience can provide.

The confidence I gained wasn’t fast or easy; it was hard-fought and hard-won. Every twist and turn, every fall and climb brought me closer to appreciating my body, my sensuality, my strength, in all its middle-aged glory. The voyeurism that could have been a source of unease, transformed into a triumphant declaration of self-assurance. I am seen – not as someone to be leered at – but as a woman unashamed of her body, her age, and her talent. And damn, it feels good to be seen – to really be seen.
