A working-class British boy must find a way to balance his prodigious love of dance with his rapidly-disintegrating home life.

ABSTRACT
Set in the fictional British town of Everington during the true-life 1984 miners' strike against Margaret Thatcher's economic policies, Billy Elliot follows the heartstring-tugging story of its titular protagonist, an eleven-year old boy whose clandestine transfer from a boxing class to a female-dominated ballet program draws the ire of father Jamie and older coal-miner brother Tony. Billy Elliot follows the young boy, talented enough at his once-secret passion that his teacher expresses a desire to train him for a Royal Ballet audition, as he strives towards his dream despite the skepticism of fractured folks at home.
