Billy is an eleven-year-old boy who lives with his widowed father, his older brother and his granny.
Billy is usually the only one around the house with high spirits, well except for granny.
His dad and brother are currently on strike from their work at the British coal mines and that makes for a pretty hostile environment at home.
Billy attends boxing lessons and he thinks he's pretty good at it but it isn't really what he's been cut out for.
While practicing one day, Billy sees a ballet class going on in the next room.
Something inside Billy makes him want to dance and soon he finds himself a part of that dance class.
Billy begins really liking dancing but his father and brother definitely do not approve.
When Billy's dance teacher decides that he has the spirit to audition for the Royal Ballet School, she offers to train him for free.
But Billy will have to prove to his father and brother that dancing is what he was born to be doing.
