Yes, there is a link for Rhys's vodeo in his thread.

Re this one including Kaine: Thanks very much for posting it, Flyin high. Kaine's performance was excellent.
I enjoyed watching the entire video. It was very interesting to learn more about classical Indian dance styles and to watch such talented performers.

A teenager from Tring is one of only 12 people in the world to be accepted to the prestigious Juilliard School of Performing Arts in New York City.

But 18-year-old Kaine Ward’s dreams of joining the legendary school which trained the likes of Christopher Reeve, Kevin Spacey and Robin Williams are now hanging by a thread.

Glad it worked out for him ! Last I had heard, he was starting up a GoFundMe account to help with his expenses, and that his likelihood of going there was up in the air. Apparently the necessary funds were raised, so exciting news that he's apparently a Julliard student now !

A very upbeat and uplifting installment of Kaine's blog about his first weeks at Julliard and his adjustment to student life there. He sounds like he's loving it!

A nice article in Broadway World about Kaine attaining a place at Julliard and his first year there and his on-going struggles finding the funds to continue:

Next week (16-Feb) marks eight years since Kaine last played Billy Elliot. Since then he's distinguished himself in dance at school and on competitive stages around the world. Learn the details in the Life After Billy segment of his profile:

My partner and I often attend events at Juilliard (when there isn't a global health pandemic), and I see Kaine there now and then, not on stage but in the lobby. Many students work other events, I've learned, so Kaine will be there checking tickets as you enter or welcoming patrons in the lobby. If you've seen him dance, you know he's an immensely talented star deserving of center stage, so it's both remarkable and wonderful that he puts in the time "supportin' the arts" elsewhere on the university's Lincoln Center campus without so many people ever realizing just who they're interacting with. Love this about him and the university as a whole.
