Re: Harris Beattie - Billy
Two more Dance Proms performances from Harris and his dance school. From the looks of the links, they happened soon after Billy Live.

Extract from link given in previous, for those with more sense or less time than I have...
It is worth a read... above average article... It reports on Harris's is commitment to a daunting schedule. Lots of people have talent. But how many also have the guts and character and parental support to put in the long, sometimes painful, hours?Harris has been offered a place at Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, starting in September.

Re: Harris Beattie - Billy
Is this school connected to the Ballet Rambert dance company that Mrs. Wilkinson refers to when she tells Billy's dad, "Maybe he'd have joined the Ballet Rambert . . . ." ?

http://www.rambert.org.uk/about_rambertFounded by Marie Rambert in 1926, the Company has sustained her pioneering commitment to choreography and developing dancers as artists, leading the way for over 85 years. The vision of this energetic Polish woman ensured that dance as an artform took root and blossomed in this country, and Rambert’s influence now extends across the world.
Marie Rambert was heavily influenced by her work with Diaghilev, Stravinsky and the Ballet Russes. She stressed the value of collaboration between choreographer, composer and artist and we continue in that tradition, routinely commissioning composers and artists alongside new choreography.
