DANCING BOY

My favorite film is Billy Elliot, a British story developed in northeastern England, directed by Stephen Daldry and starring Jamie Bell. In this shows the story of a boy who knows the ballet and wants to become a dancer, while exposes the social problems of the period

In 1984, Billy Elliot, an 11-year-old, is sends by his father Jackie to the gym to learn boxing, but Billy dislikes the sport. One day, a ballet class begins in the gym, Billy whitout telling joins the ballet class. When Jackie discovers this, he forbids Billy to take any more ballet. But, passionate about dancing, Billy secretly continues lessons with the help of his dance teacher, Sandra Wilkinson. She believes Billy is talented enough to study at the Royal Ballet School in London, His family are outraged at the prospect of him becoming a professional ballet dancer. 

After this, I discovered Billy Elliot: The Musical, is about 10 years on stage and even has been recorded on DVD. This is starred by Elliott Hanna, and is my favorite. The music was composed by Elton John and is without doubt for me a work full of life, ordinary life. This Musical teaches something very important "EXPRESSING YOURSELF" y "LOVE YOURSELF"
