It's official!....Ethan Fuller, who has trained extensively here at the Patel Conservatory with our dance department chair Peter Stark, has been cast as the lead of Billy in the Broadway tour of Billy Elliot the Musical. He'll be joining the tour soon. See Tampa Tribune story here. See video of Ethan at the Patel Conservatory here.

And the Tampa Tribune article about our Ballet for Boys class has sparked some interesting comments.
from the article... 
"If you want to do something easy, try football. This is not for wimps." - Peter Stark...
 Ballet offers the cardiovascular benefits of other sports but also emphasizes flexibility, form and balance."
