On 15-Sep-2019, James conducted a Billy Elliot workshop at Northern Prep Squad, an organization that provides different West End Masterclasses throughout the year lead by the performers from the shows themselves. Their aim at Northern Prep is to best prepare its students for what they want to do, whether that be an audition for a school talent show, an audition for a west end show or just to enjoy learning a new routine from a favorite show. The workshops provide opportunities to learn from the best in the business and all without travelling to the South.
