Read this book....
If you liked or loved Billy Elliott, I strongly suggest you read Rumer Godden's "Thursday's Child". It's about a little boy who watches his sister in dance class and aches to participate. His family is appalled and unlike Billy's loving family (who soon accept him) are relentlessly negative about his desire to dance. It's a gut-wrenching story, but worth reading. I don't know if it's currently in print, but I've found it at my local library.
