Real life Billy Elliot

This story caught my eye today.  What I cant believe is that the school cost £22,000 that is like $40,000 right. YIKES. At any rate I hope they don't have to sell their house in order pay for the school.

The parents of a real-life Billy Elliot say they are prepared to sell their house after their son won a place at a prestigious dance school.

Lorry driver's son Dominic Handford, 11, from Carmarthenshire began ballet lessons at the age of eight.
