Yes, I was reminded of that beautiful video of (Broadway Billy) Alex Ko dancing behind his older self in that ice skating special a few years ago.

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

Harris won the Phyllis Bedells Bursary at this year's RAD competition on Sunday, March 22:
The Phyllis Bedells Bursary has been awarded to two young dancers: 14 year-old Haley Vaux from Canada and 16 year-old Harris Beattie from Scotland. Named after Miss Phyllis Bedells, founding member and Vice-President of the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), this year’s internationally-recognised competition took place at RAD Headquarters on Sunday 22 March. Past winners of the prestigious competition have gone on to dance with renowned ballet companies including The Royal Ballet, English National Ballet and the Dutch National Ballet.

Well done, Harris!

Extract from link given in previous, for those with more sense or less time than I have...
Harris has been offered a place at Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, starting in September.
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?

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 . . . ." ?

Yes.
Founded 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.
