Last May we introduced you to David Alvarez, one of “the best young dancers in the US at the moment” and one of the stars of Billy Elliot the Musical now playing on Broadway. Ben Brantley, theater critic for the New York Times, called his performance “excellent.” To supplement his dancing skills, David has been training at the 92nd Street Y School of Music in classical piano for over two years and was awarded the Recanati-Kaplan merit scholarship. He also had his debut as a singer here, when he sang “Where is Love” from Oliver! for Victoria Clark.

On December 1, you can catch David on PBS (locally on WNET/Ch. 13 at 8pm in the tri-state area) in Finding Billy, a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the nationwide search for the three actors who play the lead role in Billy Elliot the Musical on Broadway. We hear there might be footage of his training at the Y!
