Ballet and football are difficult sports to learn, but some say "I will call it football if ballet is easier". All sports have rules and regulations that people should obey. This sport requires certain skills such as strength, adjustment and speed. For good sports, there is a certain level of security to ensure the safety of the participants, teamwork is necessary to make it possible for everyone to play together.

Today, a male stereotype still exists. People must be strong, brave, athletic and masculine. No shortage is regarded as masculinity. Sports such as football, basketball, boxing are considered men's sports. Ballet is considered feminine because of its elegant and accurate movement characteristics.

Billy Elliott is an eleven-year-old boy and has a natural ballet dance talent, but his father does not admit it. Billy's father wanted him to pursue boxing, but Billy opposed his will's will and pursued ballet. This discrepancy made it irritate Billy. In addition, his companions criticized him for participating in women's activities.
