Still partners: Married Alberta Ballet dancers retire after more than a decade of performing together
CTV
After spending more than a decade twirling together for the Alberta Ballet, married dancers Kelley and Reilley McKinlay are retiring from their roles as performers with the company.
They wake up together. They go to work together. At work, they're physically closer to each other than most people would be with their coworkers. They work long hours, then go home together.
The middle part of that typical day is about to change. The pair that has done everything together is now retiring together.
Kelley has been a dancer with Alberta Ballet since he was 17; Reilley, from Seattle, joined 14 years ago. The pair first became friends, and then became romantically involved.
"To be honest, it didn't take too long," Kelley told CTV News. "We just clicked right away, and it developed from there pretty quickly, I think."
