Yet another nine-year old lad, from Scunthorpe, has been accepted into the RBS Junior Associate Class:

'Shea has seen the award-winning film Billy Elliot, about a young northern boy who gets accepted to the Royal Ballet School.
And, after less than two years in dance, he is now ready to emulate his hero.
He said: "I really enjoy all different types of dance classes. I do modern, tap, ballet and street dance. When I am older, I want to be an actor in the West End".'

Several UK Billys were RBS Junior Associates, so obviously this is one of the places the casting people search for Billys. Fingers crossed for these young men.
