Sisters Mary Kate and Abi Elliott have been studying ballet at the Allegro Dance School since they were little. In November, they are two of five dancers who will perform the role of Cinderella. The sisters are very close — practicing together each night and studying at home school.
Mary Kate develope Lupus in a reaction to medication several months ago, and for a time she could barely walk. With treatment, she is back on her toes and preparing for the chance to meet her fairy godmother, who in one performance will be portrayed by her sister.
