Brev fra Billy Elliot til Mrs. Wilkinson

As you know the ballet is the most important thing in my life, and of course it’s really hard, but i do everything to make it easy for my self and now the ballet is a part of my life. I can’t avoid to dance just in few minutes or hours, because i’m dancing during the day and i love to dance so much, it’s like i’m flying like a butterfly in the air. It has indescribable feelings. Without your support i had not progressed far. I’ve got so long that i must act to a ballet theater. The ballet teachers were choosing the 5 best dance students and luckily i was one of the five.

You have taught me so much. You have taught me the different dance steps without my father’s and brother’s testimony. The years was so hard for me. It was like that i had 2 lifes in 2 places. I should box with my dad and dance with you. But now everything is so good and i am so happy. You was like a mom for me. You didn’t let me to go my own way. You wanted me to pursue the ballet, and it was your biggest wish. You did everything to i get on the Royal ballet school.
