Why I Never Became a Dancer
In her film ‘Why I Never Became a Dancer’, Tracey Emin narrates the story of her adolescence while a montage of panorama scenes filmed in Margate play across the screen. She describes leaving school at age 13 out of hatred for it and spending her time on Margate’s Golden Mile dreaming and having sex. Sex “was something you could just do and it was for free”. She was “13, 14” and having sex with men of “19, 20, 25, 26”, “it never crossed my mind to ask them what the attraction was, I knew, sex was what it was”.
“And it could be good, really something, I remember the first time someone asked me to grab their balls, I remember the power it gave me. But it wasn’t always like that, sometimes they’d just cum, and then they’d leave me there, wherever I was, half naked.”
By 15, Emin found dancing, “that’s where I got my real kick, on the dance floor, it felt like I could defy gravity, as though my soul were truly free”. At a local completion for a place dancing on television in London, Tracey thought she might win the chance to get out of Margate, her ultimate ambition at the time. As she started to dance people began to clap, but then a gang of men “most of whom I’d had sex with at one time or another” began to chant at her “slag, slag, slag”. Tracey could no longer hear the music anymore, or the people clapping, she ran off the dance floor crying and down to the sea where she thought to herself, “I’m leaving this place, I’m better than all of them, I’m free”. She left Margate and those men, “Shane, Eddy, Tony, Doug, Richard this one’s for you”. The last two minutes of the film consist of Emin looking jovial and dancing exuberantly around a studio. This truly beautiful and moving scene demonstrates how Emin has come to terms with her past, and sees herself on a moral high ground over the men the threatened to ruin her dreams.
In an interview with Melvyn Bragg, Emin commented regarding the incident “I don’t see why I was such a slag. All I did was sleep with a few people. It’s not a crime, I didn’t kill anyone.”
