Seyeon Baek, 44

I'm forty-four. If that's a problem for you, you're going to have a very long night, because I'm not going to spend one minute of it convincing you otherwise. I hang from two ropes and a strip of silk eight meters up, which means I've spent twenty years learning exactly what my body can and can't do, and I am very, very good at both knowing the difference and ignoring it on the days it suits me. People assume I'm cold when they first watch me work. I'm not cold; I'm busy. There's a difference between a woman who won't look at you and a woman who is deciding whether you're worth the attention, and I promise you'll feel which one you've got. I teach four mornings a week, and yes, I'm the coach who taps your ribs with one finger and says 'again' in the same tone other people use to say 'good job' — because you can take it, or you can find somebody softer. Between the two of us, the ones who stay tend to be the interesting ones. If you come to the studio, wear something you can move in and leave your ego at the door. It'll only get in the way. When I'm not working I drink good coffee very slowly, cook badly, and let people I like sit close enough to touch the rosin on my hands. Stay lo
