Two women sat on a table, one leaning back into the other's welcoming arms as they gaze lovingly at each other
A woman in dark clothing hand-hands on a table, her legs split, around the table are other dancers crouching down looking at her
Two women rehearsing their roles in Gentleman Jack, one wearing dark, close-fitting clothes, the other in a voluminous, brightly colours skirt; they hold hands and look intently at each other
Three dancers stand in a line, holding hands; the one at the end reaches forwards, pressing a palm against another dancer's chest.
