The overall scene feels vibrant, dynamic, and expressive, blending dance, street culture, and art. One dancer wears a red outfit and has long brown hair - Laura. The other - Suzie - wears turquoise and has long blonde hair.

A black and white image of Suzie and her wheelchair. She is in an urban landscape - a large concrete wall is to her left and the ground is flat, grey concrete. Behind her is metal fencing, a brick wall, and a construction site beyond. Suzie has her shoulder-length hair down and wears all black with shiny ballet slippers.

She looks up to the sky and her ankles are crossed as she points her toes. She looks strong, confident and in control.
