Two Thumbs up for the movie Billy Elliott. This is a story about a young teen who releases his feelings through dance. He lives with his widowed father, brother, and grandmother in a coal mining town in England. The miners, including his father and brother, are on strike and times are hard. He is taking boxing lessons but becomes intrigued with a ballet class. His father is against him dancing - thinking only "puffers" dance. 
Through practice and effort and sheer determination, Billy convinces his father that dancing is his life. Beside father/son relationships and dance, the movie is also about acceptance. It made me cry and laugh. I recommend you watch it.
