Photo credit: Shelby Tay A photo of a group of youth dancers in various poses in a bright studio space. In the foreground a dancer with light skin and short dark hair wearing a red t-shirt, white shorts, green socks and a blue face mask looks into the camera. The dancer has one leg lifted up while holding hands to hips, elbows pointing out like wings. The other dancers are all caught up in their own moments, and fill the space with movement and energy.

ID: This short video opens to a split screen, with black and red sections on the left, with black on the right and the text “Ready Dance Youth Project: Inclusive and accessible”. Wide doors open into a brightly lit community centre dance studio with several dancers standing together. The remainder of the video consists of vignettes of different dancers interacting in the studio: a few dancers surround another, all holding pieces of brown paper overhead; someone tears a large piece of brown paper; several dancers change places; a dancer jumps up and down, patty-caking their hands out forward; two dancers, connected with their arms, swirl around one another and release; a dancer lays on their back on the floor, holding a small snare drum; 4 or 5 dancers are all stretching in unison; a dancer turns around while focusing on their hands; several dancers on the floor, drawing with markers while someone plays an acoustic guitar in the background; closeup of someone hitting a small mallet against a pipe; three dancers are stretching their arms up high and wide; one and then another dancer sitting in the studio, talking expressively with their hands; a group of 9 dancers pose for the camera: sitting, standing, crouching, some holding crumpled white paper.
