Billy represents the struggle we all have to fulfill our dreams

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2000)

We all have struggled one time or another to fulfill our dreams. Billy represents this struggle in us. This is such a wonderful, down to earth, yet inspirational film. It is so real. As a teacher, not of ballet, but of mathematics, I have actually dealt with parents who did not want their daughters to be TOO academically inclined. The same thing happens in reverse with Billy. He is torn between pleasing or hating his family because of his wish to dance and their distaste and repugnance for this desire in a boy. Every actor in this film plays his/her role to perfection. I absolutely did not want the movie to end! But then came the most beautiful ending that I was satisfied with it.
My advice: go see this film and you will come away uplifted!
