  1. His father wants him to go to boxing lessons, but Billy secretly begins attending ballet classes.

  2. 2. Because Billy feels a strong emotional connection to dance. It gives him joy, a sense of identity, and freedom from the constraints of his family and environment.

  3. 3. Yes, Mrs Wilkinson is a good influence on Billy because she recognises his natural talent and gives him a space to express himself freely through dance. She challenges the rigid gender and class expectations placed on him and helps him see a future beyond the limitations of his environment.

  4. 4. People should pursue their passions if it allows them to be their true self. In Billy’s case, dancing gives him confidence and purpose. However, it impacted his family relationships. Ultimately, following one’s dreams requires courage but it may also involve compromises.
