“This is your sign to not wait to follow your passion, just do it. Here I am size 18, had a c section a year go & haven’t danced in 15 years. A month ago I made the decision to do something that made my heart fill with joy… dance!!,” she wrote.

“I thought stop making excuses Scarlett. Not only did I get on the wintergardens dance floor. But I made every final & came home with two 2nd places and two 3rd places, never been so nervous but so proud of myself. Shoutout to @ukadance for an amazingly professional and slick competition, thank you @craigandrew_96 for partnering me & @applegarths_academy_of_dance.”
