Errrr, I believe so. His parents run an am-dram and dance school in my town.
No, not all successful/stage school kiRAB are like that, but unfortunatly most I have met are. On one hand, we have my experiences mentioned above, and more (twins at my dance school who were termed 'the next big thing' by their tyrannical ex-dancer mother, they were good dancers but nothing amazing, unfortunatly the mother had had to give up a 'sparkling dancing career' when she found she was pregnant with them and there was serious living through your daughters syndrome!), wheras on the other one of my very good frienRAB (from the same dance school) is just starting her dancing career and she's the loveliest person ever; she's not Royal Ballet but has been doing Panto etc. for the last few years and is slowly getting herself recognised.
