Re: Jacob Clemente
This is a great article. Thanks for posting it. How interesting that Jacob and Corey Snide were friends and fellow dancers before Corey became a Billy in London. Porschesrule also mentions this history on his skykid page. Small world!clue wrote:I looked around and didn't see this posted here yet. It is kind of old though.

Re: Jacob Clemente
Further proof that it's a small world when it comes to Billy Elliot -- I was writing the profiles of Jacob and Rhys Yeomans at the same time and noted that not only did Jacob know a former Billy from the same dance program (Corey), but so did Rhys who attended Centrepointe Dance school, the most famous product from which, to date, is none other than Matthew Koon.

Re: Jacob Clemente
A great article here about Jacob. In it his mother says that he will make his debut "in about two weeks".

Excellent article Billy Whiz. I especially like the part where the parents discussed the language issue with their son.Billy Whiz wrote:A great article here about Jacob. In it his mother says that he will make his debut "in about two weeks".

Re: Jacob Clemente
Here's another nice article about Jacob. Enjoy.

Love this! I guess it wasn't too much of a stretch to be told to dance on top of the dinner table!

Jacob started dancing lessons when he was seven, and “I have never stopped since,” he declared, “even while sitting at the dinner table.”
