Congratulations to Marcus. It's great to catch up with what's going on with him as his training progresses.
Thanks for the link, porschesrule.

Marcus is featured in a short (~1 minute?) promotional video for his National Ballet School (Toronto) that was shown at a western Canadian movie theatre today (as a lead up to a live cast screening of the Bolshoi Ballet production of Taming of the Shrew). Not a lot of dancing; mostly talking head (white dance shirt), shot between classes (?).

This may be the video you saw. It was posted a few weeks ago on Canada's National Ballet School's Youtube channel, but doesn't identify Marcus by name.

Marcus actually identifies himself at the very end, "My name is Marcus Pei and I'm proud to say I'm a graduate of Canada's National Ballet School".

True. I just meant it wasn't in the text where it might have been picked up by a search.

He's a graduate. What's he up to now, I wonder. (This is the only thread that tracks his professional evolution?)

Yes. When any news of future professional progress for each Billy comes up, it is typically posted in his thread..

Of course, that young man who is the focus of that particular video is also a former Billy from the Broadway show, Liam Redhead.
