Selma explained that “the thing is, I pass out a lot. It’s part of the reason I have Scout and it doesn’t mean I lose consciousness [or] it’s a whole ambulance experience, it’s something that I lose my vision, gravity pulls me down and I’m very disoriented and gone for a spell.”

“He’s kind of there to also catch me, you know, make the ground a little closer with his back,” she adds of her service dog, who accompanies her in everything.

After learning of her fainting spell, dancing partner Sasha was adamant that she take a day off, but Selma pushed through regardless.

“I’m like, ‘Take the day off, just chill,’” he said. “She’s like, ‘Nope!’”

Selma and Sasha then practiced together for five hours that session.

“It’s just something that I have to be honest with where I’m coming from but also know, like, ‘Wait, I really have this.’ It comes and goes,” Selma added.
