Scheana nods, and she notes that she's even done some work in the chance that she would get a call from casting.
"This year, I started taking dance class[es]. I was preparing in case, you know, I did get it," she explains. "It was kid of a punch in the gut, for sure."

"I am so happy for her, but it's like, I can be happy for her and sad for me at the same time," she explains.
"And I mean, good for her, she has come such a long way from being my backup dancer," Scheana adds.
