Just Dance: Sink or Swim

London-based director Louis-Jack dives into the mind of a woman struggling with depression in this film supported in part by The Royal Ballet, Studio Wayne McGregor and mental health charity Mind. Starring Francesca Hayward, a principal dancer with The Royal Ballet, the film was inspired by an oil painting of Northern Irish artist Ian Cumberland, in which he depicts himself submerged, fully clothed, in a bath of water. Royal Ballet Young Choreographer program participant Charlotte Edmonds was behind the film's choreography and genesis.

This is simply stunning. The images underwater so captivating and addressing such a difficult issue as depression.

I kinda wonder if she's gonna b in the remake of The Little Mermaid. Her underwater dancing makes her look like a natural-born mermaid.

[@mariahcarey9470]

She would've been a good fit!

Iste duygularım ; bazan uçar gibi, bazan dik yamaçlardan ovalara atlar gibi en çok ta koşarım ta derilerinlerineatmak icin yanan yüreğimi uçsuz bucaksız denizlerin..

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Amphitera]

she's a nice dancer, but I gotta say the underwater parts weren't good.
Look up Julie Gautier to see how it's done!
also, water is the source of life. Stop confounding it with mental health issues...

[@brittanymartin6122]

Remind me who came up w/ the keep-your-head-above-water bit?

[@charlieboy868]

wow
