A BRAVE girl battling a rare genetic condition gave a star turn in a charity ballet performance.
Seven-year-old Enola Halleron-Clarke is one of just 82 people in the UK with Mucopolysaccharidoses or MPS, which means her organs outgrow her skeleton.
The Blackburn youngster will not grow any taller than her current 90cm height and the condition may shorten her life.
But she practised for hours to learn ballet movements, like being able to stand on tiptoe for a few seconds.
And to raise funds for research into MPS the St Paul's Primary School pupil appeared at Danzwize’s annual showcase on Friday and Saturday.
Enola wore a multi-coloured tutu to portray a rainbow, with fellow class members representing the sky, and performed front splits as her final bow.
