Colombia's Billy Elliot

Like the title character in the film Billy Elliot, Jhojan is from a poor neighbourhood and dancing has changed his life.

He won a scholarship to FundaciΓ³n Festival Art, a top rated ballet academy in BogotΓ΅ which offers places to underprivileged children in Colombia.

Jhojan trains for up to 12 hours a day and told Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute: "I'm working really hard to be the best dancer in the world"
