New dance school for boys planned

[Redbookish]

I thought this BBC News article might be of interest, particularly to UK based Parents of Boys.

A bit of transatlantic translation: "free schools" aka Academies here are a new thing to encourage state-funded by diverse schools, sponsored by the community, and probably the nearest thing to them in the US are Charter Schools.

We've decided that the Billy Elliot references are a bit tedious but probably to be expected

Just a small correction, while ilyaballet , Mr. Kuznetsov is a wonderful teacher of male students at the Bolshoi, I must say that many of his videos posted on YouTube are not only his students. May of the films are of Vaganova Academy, where he has never taught.
