“I’m going to be resting and healing at this time to make sure that my ankle properly gets healed and returns back to the way it was,” Arnold explained. “I am so sad that I won’t be joining back with the tour, but it’s such a fun show, and I know all of you guys who are going are going to have so much fun.”

She went on to say that her fellow dancers are “the most talented people I know.” Arnold thanked fans for their support, saying she “can’t wait to see you guys again, and to get back dancing.”
