I notice that Jay is taking the lead in "Big" the musical, so I presume Danny could do something similar. He could do more of a show musical.

Jay seems to be getting good reviews for his acting and singing in Big , But they suggest the heavy duty number is being sung by Diana Vickers - who has an awful lot of power when she switches it on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbQ2u-7haE8 Big may be Westend or tour bound next year. For anyone who wants to know what standard an art ed graduate would be at - look at the youtube above - there seems to be 5 arts ed graduates in that cast. Doing Strictly might just get Danny to the leading roie they can't get yet. http://www.bigthemusical.co.uk/cast |

Just throwing it out there as he's already at such a high level.
How long would Danny have to train for to be of a very good professional dancer standard? Im talking at the level of the pro dancers on Strictly? Or is that not possible unless you start very young? |

Maybe it's like the difference between someone who has the talent, and somebody who has already done all the work. Mozart once complained about an opera lead castrato, that "he cannot read music, so I have to teach him the role note by note". Oti gets him through a dance or two each week by putting in a lot of hours each week, but it doesn't mean he knows all his body can do, has the conditioning, or knows most of the 'language' of dance yet.

I can imagine Danny being involved in more stage work involving dancing/acting but he will never be good enough to be a pro ballroom or latin dancer, but I can't imagine he would want to be.

It would depend on what he wants to do. However one of my dance teachers took a short time out to pursue another career before going back to dancing and found himself at a huge disadvantage. Also I can't see any advantage at all to his becoming a ballroom professional since he is a bit old to start competing and he wouldn't want to teach. He's better just developing those skills in his spare time if he enjoys ballroom (another string to his bow as a performer) and continuing with his present more diverse (and definitely more lucrative) career.
