This tale of a young boy with a dream, this celebration of his triumph against the odds, is set against the historic British miners’ strike of the 1980s. The story follows Billy’s journey as a boy in a small mining town. After stumbling across a ballet class while on his way to a boxing lesson, he realizes that his future lay not in the boxing ring but on stage as a dancer.
