Joshua Williams is living out his ballet dream after he was scouted at post office
When he was only five-years-old, Williams was already doing the splits.
18-year-old Joshua Williams from Cape Town has had a passion for dancing since a very young age.
When he turned eight, his mother Candice Jooste couldn't stop him from dancing in public. It was this flair for performance that got him spotted by a dance teacher in his local post office.

Nine months into ballet training, Williams entered the ballet eisteddfod - and won in the solo and duo performance categories.
In 2017, Williams went to Switzerland to perfect his dancing skills at Zurich Dance Academy.
Joshua Williams joined the Scenic Drive to talk about his love for ballet dancing and future plans.
"When I was younger, ballet was mainly for girls. When I asked the teacher if I could join the ballet class, she said no. My mom supported me during everything.
"I was just dancing in the post office - and I was spotted by a dance teacher. She gave my mother contact details and the rest is history."
Joshua Williams delivered a special dance for the Scenic Drive team.
