Sounds feasible, we know Romeo Beckham was the face of the Xmas Burberry advert last year and his younger brother Cruz did ballet and other dance, (and Victoria Beckham has seen the show apparently), so that lot could inspire a good ad, with or without Billy Elliot.

There is another post on their instagram. https://instagram.com/p/9lqOJwxJD1/?taken-by=burberry

The paper is from the film script i think.
" Brought your things?
I don't know if they're right, Miss.
If they're special to you, they're right.
What are they for?
To give us some ideas for a dance.
Come on, then. Let's see them.
What's that?
It's a letter.
I can see it's a letter...."

For those not living in the UK, these Christmas-oriented ads are BIG!!
"Billy Elliot is an incredible film full of so much joy and energy, so it was a real thrill and a great honor to be able to celebrate its 15 year anniversary through our Festive campaign," Bailey, who serves as the esteemed British brand's chief creative officer and CEO, said via press release. "It was also a huge privilege to work with such amazing and iconic British talent—the cast are quite simply some of the biggest names in film, music and fashion and it was so much fun working with them all to make this special film."

Elton John? Julie Walters? James Cordry? Naomi Campbell? Billy Elliot's 15th Anniversary?

This is big.

The iconic wallpaper is 'a star'!

Even Vogue has an article:

It gets even better:
As well as showcasing Burberry's festive offering - and delighting our eyes of course - the campaign has a philanthropic element as well. The original production of Billy Elliot established a legacy of charitable support for the local community of Easington, County Durham where the film is set. Inspired by this, Burberry is making a donation of £500,000 to be split between two charities, Place2Be and the County Durham Community Foundation, which have projects focusing on reducing barriers to education, training and employment in the local area. None of the stars who took part in the film were paid for their involvement, all choosing to donate their fee to the charities as well.
Here are the 2015 recipients of grants from the County Durham Community Foundation, processing in Durham Cathedral:

Oh my god, that Billy Elliot wall paper!!! There's no better beginning to a movie(or choice of song, Cosmic Dancer that I swear for years I thought it was written for the movie). It literally had my jaw drop, God I love those rare movie moments when you are in awe at how good a segment is, and Billy had TWO of those moments(not randomly the refined Billy at the end no longer bouncing on his bed)!
