The Next Step - Billy Elliot (2000)

from MOVERS SHAKERS MAKERS · host Makeshift Company

We couldn't make The Next Step mini series without including BILLY ELLIOT. Is this the seminal dance coming of age film? How does it hold up a quarter of a century after it was released and became a cultural phenomenon? Bonus film: THE FITS (2015) starts eerily the same as Billy Elliot, but steers firmly away from the predictable halfway through...I'm joined this episode by host of Drinks at the Bar podcast, Paul James Rooney...who apart from being a podcast host and experienced dancer has actually played older Billy Elliot in the very successful stage version! We muse over Thatcherism, homophobia, questionable "ballet" choreography and whether Billy would've realistically had a shot at getting into the Royal Ballet School.LINKSDrinks at the Barre Podcast on AppleDrinks at the Barre Podcast on SpotifySpice Girls, Stop Right NowIndie Wire interview with Stephen Daldry Billy Elliot: Class Traitor
