I mean I kind of feel a little bit foolish asking this next question But, can anyone do this?
17
Anyone could dance, because dance is just like having fun, and like when a rhythm comes on, she'll run around, jump up and down.
18
Now, I'll tell you what we're going to do.
19
We're going to try and prove that anybody can dance, because we've got our eyes on a school, and what we're going to do is surprise a group of their boys with the dance challenge of a lifetime.
20
Absolutely, the chance to dance here with Tom in a Billy Elliot -inspired routine.
21
See how we spring that surprise on our programme next month
22
and watch their performance here on this stage in just eight weeks' time.
23
Well, thank you very much, Tom.
24
Thank you, boys.
25
Thank you, boys.
26
We'll see you very soon.
27
Well done.
28
Hearing anyone can start living a healthier lifestyle, no matter what your age, and to prove that, five lucky schoolboys were set the challenge of their young lives to learn to dance.
29
That's right.
30
So we've got some pretty nervous schoolboys about to dance in public for the very first time.
31
And what's more, it's with the star of hit West End musical, Billy Elliot.
32
Eight weeks ago at Thames Christian College in South London, I surprised five boys with the news that they'd been selected to take part in our dancing challenge.
33
I'm here today to come and tell you that...
34
You're all in!
35
Congratulations!
36
The training began and it wasn't long before the hard work started to pay off.
37
Dance is an excellent exercise for keeping fit, and I've really noticed an improvement in their fitness.
38
It's been really tiring, really exciting, really fun.
39
Now I feel less nervous, but at the same time, I want to get it right.
40
I can see that some of them might struggle, but I think in six weeks, we'll get there.
41
To help the boys understand just how much work needs to be done, Lizzie takes them backstage at Billy Elliot to meet the star of the show, Tom.
42
Hello to Tom.
43
Hi.
44
Hi, guys.
45
How are you all feeling about going on TV?
46
Where did you get the stamina for you to do all day?
47
Over a long period of time, like a few weeks, you just get a lot fitter from all the dance training.
48
So you'll be a lot fitter by the end of this training thing.
49
What advice have you got for them all?
50
Try your best.
51
The harder you work, the more you get out of it, the better you do.
52
Back in the dance studio, Tom joins the boys for their first rehearsal together.
53
Hi, guys.
54
Tom coming to rehearsals today has really boosted our confidence because he's going to teach us all these new moves, telling us how things are done.
55
And as the day of the performance draws nearer, the strain is starting to show.
56
When I first auditioned, I had no idea how hard it was going to be, but you know you know it's completely hard work it's been challenging in places he's taught me things
57
so it's been good to dance with him we need more practice sure we've covered the routine
58
but there's still mistakes here and there and my mom's telling me go home
59
and practice so you do not forget i don't want you forgetting on national television

Tom Holland, Billy Elliot, and the Power of Dance: A Language Learning Context
The video features a lively conversation with Tom Holland, then a young star of the West End musical Billy Elliot, and follows a group of schoolboys taking on a dance challenge. The dialogue is casual yet energetic, making it ideal for language learning. It includes everyday phrases, natural question-and-answer structures, and practical advice—all of which help learners practice real-world communication.
Top 5 Phrases for Daily Communication
- "Catch your breath": A friendly way to tell someone to take a moment to relax after physical activity.
- "Fair play": Used to praise someone for their effort or skill, e.g., "You aced the test—fair play!"
- "Pay off": To result in a positive outcome, as in "All that studying paid off."
- "Try your best": A common piece of encouragement, perfect for motivating others.
- "Get it right": To do something correctly, e.g., "I need to practice to get it right."
Step-by-Step Shadowing Guide for This Video
The shadowing technique is a great way to improve speaking and pronunciation practice with this video. Here's how to do it:
- Listen and repeat short segments: The dialogue has pauses between questions and answers, so pause after each line (e.g., "Wow, well done, Tom, how are you doing there?") and repeat it immediately. This helps with intonation and rhythm.
- Focus on connected speech: Phrases like "catch your breath" and "fair play" are often spoken quickly. Notice how words link together (e.g., "how are you" becomes "how're you") and mimic that flow.
- Emphasize natural stress: In "We've got to do a lot of training," the stress is on "got" and "lot." Repeat the line, stressing these words to sound more native-like.
- Practice with emotion: The speakers show excitement and encouragement. Copy their tone—raise your voice slightly when saying "Well done!" to match the energy.
- Record and compare: After shadowing, record yourself and listen to the original. Note differences in pronunciation (e.g., "nutritionists") and adjust. This helps refine your skills over time.
This video’s mix of casual conversation and motivational moments makes it a valuable tool for language learning. By using the shadowing technique, you’ll build confidence in speaking and improve your ability to communicate naturally in English.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
