00:00In recent years, mental health and neurodiversity topics have come to the forefront

00:04and on Just Dance, we really wanted to contribute by raising awareness on those topics

00:09and provide positive representations of neurodiversity.

00:13So when we came across the song Bang Bang My Neurodivergent anthem by Galantis,

00:17we really saw an opportunity to do it right, and that's how the project started.

00:27What is ADHD?

00:28Well, it's a neurological condition that impacts mostly attention and executive function.

00:59We also have major strengths, like, for example, the capacity of hyperfocus on topics that passionates us.

01:06And we also thrive in chaos, tending to be excellent firefighters.

01:10While our creativity can be unstoppable, with the specificity to really think outside of the box.

01:18Nothing activates the brain so extensively as music.

01:21In fact, music and dance can echo perfectly with ADHD.

01:24When I play Just Dance, it feels like it creates this equilibrium

01:28where my body and my outside surroundings all of a sudden match the same rhythm and speed that my brain is going at.

01:35Regarding the choreography, we try to translate the different state of mind of ADHD in energy and movement.

01:44The speed line represents your thoughts that are racing in your brain, just like you may experience in an ADHD brain.

01:52Ultimately, the racing thoughts line forms the infinity loop sign, which is a symbol of neurodiversity.

02:00For the inattentive part, we call it the dreamer, we made more floaty moves, round, and also a bit slower.

02:08For the hyperactive part, we call it internal chaos.

02:12The movements are faster, and we go to the right, to the left.

02:18We move around just to show how the thoughts go to one idea and another idea.

02:24And we add also the hyper-focused part, where the coach really looks at the camera fixed.

02:32He stays in place in the moment where he only thinks about one thing.

02:37One thing is really concentrated, so we want to show it also with more sharp movement, kind of robotic.

02:45In the last part of the song, the coach takes off the mask, has to say to the world that it's okay to be ADHD.

02:52It kind of resonated with me as almost like a metaphor.

02:57You're a square peg in a round hole, and you're trying so hard to be round.

03:02It's always going to be a struggle, and so to watch the coach take that mask off,

03:07and it feels like embrace their true self was very cool.

03:12You know, coming out with your condition is not easy when ADHD is not recognized positively by society.

03:19That's why making this project was so important to us.

03:23So as a video game and a video game company, we create the culture,

03:28and we have a real impact on how players view the world, themselves and the others.

03:43It makes me feel seen.

03:44Having the opportunity to display positively ADHD in a video game like Just Dance was really appealing for us,

03:51and we hope it will be appealing for many audiences and players.

03:55So as much as some of us as game developers felt represented as neurodivergent,

04:00we hope it will generate a similar feeling among our neurodivergent players,

04:04and beyond, that it will contribute to show a true and positive representation of ADHD.

04:25I wish you happiness.
