A ballet teacher, who came to see BETM at Ogunquit, told me how impressed she was by the 'bad' dancing of the ballet girls - how difficult it is for a trained dancer to dance badly!
That makes me think, I remember wondering if it was difficult for the Billys to dance like beginners during Shine and Solidarity, when the character is still finding his feet.

From "Forbidden Broadway", here is a fun spoof based on Matilda's "Revolting Children" about the way shows such as Matilda, Billy Elliot, Les Mis, and others exploit their talented young child stars.

Who knew BETM had a Philippine tour. :lol:

I am a sucker for good ads; the ones from the UK are generally far more interesting and creative than those from the States, but here is one that I think makes a point, and creates an impression, with only nine words. And dance is involved!

A rather touching ad from, of all things, my local cable company, showing the power of dance:

Sometimes, first impressions are not always right!
