I wish I started this young…
—xo Alethea Austin
Age 26: I meet a man and fall in love.
Age 25: I start taking dance classes again after a breakup leaves me with a lot of time on my hands. Better than that, I start taking burlesque dance classes. I hadn’t danced in years and took the class alone — that way if I embarrassed myself, no one would know. It’s a revelation.
These women are being sexual without having sex, they’re celebrating their curves and the way their asses jiggle, and more than that, they’re having fun. I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, flush-cheeked and dancing in unison with 12 other women, and I am harkened back to my childhood dance classes. In that class, I make huge strides towards appreciating what my body can do.
