"Dancing With The Stars" Pro Sharna Burgess Set to Return to the Ballroom for 35th Season of Hit Series

A veteran Dancing With The Stars pro is set to return to the ballroom for the 35th season of the hit ABC series.

What's Happening:

• Viewers of Good Morning America who also happen to be fans of Dancing With The Stars were treated to a special bit of news this morning, as they learned a former pro will be heading back to the ballroom this season.
• Sharna Burgess is set to return to ABC's hit reality competition series, marking her return after five years away from the ballroom, having left the series back in 2021.
• Burgess first joined the show as a troupe member back in 2011, becoming a pro and partnered with celebrity contestants in 2013. On her original run, she was known as one of the stronger choreographers and teachers, with a reputation for getting non-dancers deep into the competition.
• She danced alongside Noah Galloway, Nick Carter, James Hinchcliffe, and Josh Norman, taking home a Mirrorball trophy with partner Bobby Bones back in 2018.
• Her personal life also became part of Dancing With The Stars' story, paired with actor Brian Austin Green (Beverly Hills 90210), developing a personal relationship outside of the show. The two had a son together, born in June of 2022, and got engaged back in 2023.
• Now, in Season 35, she will return to the ballroom as a pro once again, becoming the second pro we know is returning for the upcoming season alongside Witney Carson.
