Following the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increased interest in exploring听the role of online arts activities as a form of mental health support. As young people听and individuals with existing mental health conditions have been disproportionately听affected by COVID-19, the aim of the Dance/Connect study was to explore if and how听eight weeks of group online dance classes may support young people (aged 16-24)听living with anxiety. The study was mixed-methods (qualitative, quantitative,听participatory, arts-based) and was delivered in partnership with a youth advisory of听young people aged 16-24. In this presentation, we explore our coproduction听processes of collaborating with young people to deliver this research, as well as听reflect on and share the arts-based methods we used to explore experiences of
dance and coproduction. You can also read a blog about some of the study鈥檚听preliminary qualitative findings.
