Ballet Boys. Trying to be the next Billy Elliot
It's not easy being a teenager - at least not when your dream is to be the next Billy Elliot.
Ballet Boys follows three aspiring ballet dancers through disappointment, triumph, friendship, first love, doubt, faith, as they follow their ambition and find their own way.
In short, the film covers everything about being a teenager, mixed together with the beautiful expression of ballet. Over four years we watch the boys become young men, and witness friendships form and separate.
