Not all kids are meant for the spotlight, but Katie and Abbey are.

According to the video’s description, they both attended a studio called Ambition Dance, and the footage captured is of the second duet they performed together after enrolling.

They walked out in front of the crowd wearing costumes that should’ve given people a little hint of what to expect. After all, they’re pretty – but also funky with some definite flair. Both girls were carrying guitars as props as well.

Every good show has a special twist.

Katie and Abbey have huge smiles on their faces as the song begins to play. They move their instruments around gracefully during the slow intro of the tune – making it seem like they’re setting the tone. But that’s far from the truth.

Suddenly, the cutie in pink jumps to her knees and together they start rocking their guitars to the sound of heavy metal music. Right in front of everyone’s eyes, Katie and Abbey become little divas ready to stand up for girl power!

These ‘Cheetah Sisters’ are unstoppable.

Katie and Abbey’s duet revolves around the song performed by Disney’s, The Cheetah Girls. The multi-cultured group was a huge music sensation, known to promote positive messages about friendship to their fans worldwide.

Some of the lyrics Katie and Abbey dance to are as follows:

“Cause we are sisters, we stand together. We make up one big family – though we don’t look the same. Our spots are different, different colors…”
