DanceLife would like to congratulate 7 Flavours Client Dayton Tavares, who has secured the lead principal role in “Billy Elliott” playing on Broadway.
Dayton arrived safely in New York last week and is already in the middle of rehearsals getting ready to make his debut making history in Broadway.
We should make special mention that at the tender age of 13, Dayton Tavares is the youngest Australian ever to star in a major musical in New York.
You may have already seen the amazing international and local press articles about Dayton over the last few days but here are a few links.

Besides this world class musical performance show breaking records in Broadway, everybody should know that Dayton is also a world martial arts champion.
Dayton’s choreographer is also very proud of Dayton and Kylie Vassallo is largely responsible for making Dayton into who he is today after secretly having him take ballet dance lessons.
We shall also share that Dayton has been working on a new ‘Salute To The King Of Pop’ show which will be going on the road down under when Dayton returns from Broadway in the middle of 2010. Check a preview here @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9GpjuHIMJA
