I have been trying to find out what happened to David after he left Billy Elliot. When I saw him dance, I was hooked on his talent. Since the show, he has disappeared. Nothing on the internet can tell me anything. When I checked Wikipedia, his profile was deleted at his request. Where is this talent.........
Thanks in advance,
Bill

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 8/2/14 at 8:27pmYes, there was an article in the New York Post about a month ago about him. I can't find the link right now, but it stated that he's joined the military.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I guess David is in the military. I dont understand why he gave up a career in dance because he was so good. Oh well....again thanks to all that replied to my question....even tho I spelled Davids last name wrong!
Thanks again folks,
Bill

Posted: 8/18/14 at 6:51pmHe is a Sniper in the U.S Army stationed in Alaska. His contract is up soon and will be going back to NYC. I was told that his intentions are to continue acting once he's out of the Army.

I know David Personally. If you guys have any questions on what exactly he's up to and what he plans on doing in the future ask away. I will run it by him. This is his instagram "dalagon" You'll see a few photos of him in the Army and whatnot.
