Here's a good article about JP and Kylend from the Courier Post Online:

In this article from the HalfMoonBay (CA) Patch, J.P.'s hometown, his dance school in California - the Shely Pack Dancers - is featured. The article relates stories of several students of the school who have begun to make a name for themselves in the dance world -- including, of course, J.P.

The article also reveals that J.P.'s sister, Lexi, will be joining the show. "Lexi began rehearsals earlier this week in Washington D.C. and will make her debut with the production in Minneapolis in 2012."

Minneapolis is not currently listed on the tour itinerary, so not sure if that last part is correct. I guess we'll see.

The tour was in Minneapolis about a year ago.

The tour was in Minneapolis about a year ago.

Correct. But the article says "will make her debut with the production in Minneapolis in 2012." That's why I said there's no tour stop scheduled there for 2012, so the writer must have gotten the city wrong.

Lexi tweeted on her public twitter on Tuesday that she was flying out to join the tour. Not sure just when or in what city she will start, though.

At the airport. Billy Elliot tour here I come!
