Both a musical and a film, Billy Elliot is the story of a young boy fascinated with dancing, in particular ballet, and the struggles that he survived through with his family. Ballet is usually associated as being very feminine especially since it is often only woman performing ballet. This film tries to show us that ballet isn't only for girls as shown through the story of Billy Elliot. It's sad that we/I tend to think negatively toward male dancers even to the point where they may disliked or hated because of what they enjoy doing in their spare time. Billy Elliot succeeds in proving that dancing can be like any other sport and is for both boys and girls. It emphasizes that thinking otherwise is not only dense but also hypocritical.
