I think everyone who likes dancing especially jazz dance and ballet knows about this move. In Japan, it is released as "a little dancer."

To summarize this movie, it set against the background of the 1984 Miner's Strike. Billy Elliot, Jamie Bell, is an 11 years old boy who doesn't like the Boxing lessons. Instead, he falls for the girls' ballet lessons. But his father did not want him to take ballet lessons. Being supported by the ballet teacher,Mrs. Wilkinson, Billy keeps on training secretly. Finally, Mrs. Wilkinson manages to get Billy an audition for the Toyal Ballet School.

I like this movie because it is interesting drama but it also has some funny parts. I also really like its story. The way he meets ballet is simmilar to me, the way I met jazz dance. I can understand how he loves ballet.

However, this movie thought me that inside every one of us is a special talent waiting to come out. and it is wonderful.

I have already seen this movie when I was young. I even now like this movie so I watched again.

In this movie, a dancer, India, teaches movement to kids and wins the dance contest every Saturday night at a disco in Brooklyn. But she is mute since she was born and that is the reason she loses her part in the final round of the Broadway show audition. But a young scientist, Isaac, ivents a way for her to express herself in the way she wants.

Thit movie shows a hard part of dance audition. I think some people do not really like this movie because its story is kind of dark. But I do like it. I think there is some massages from this movie. Watching this movie, I also thought that there must be something that one was talented for.
