Sasha Farber, Sharna Burgess, Daria Chesnokova New Members Of The Dancing With The Stars Troupe?
As some of you have posted in the comments sections and in some twitter chat (including @DWTStroupe), Daria Chesnokova and Sasha Farber might be the replacements for Nicole Volynets and Tristan MacManus in the Dancing With The Stars Dance Troupe. Another dancer that might be dancing in the troupe is Sharna Burgess.
Daria, also known as “Dasha”, is Val Chmerkovskiy’s former dance partner from from 2008 until this year. She is also from the Ukraine like Val. The two have won numerous World dance titles together and have helped to teach at the Dance With Me Soho Studios in New York.
Sasha was born in Russia, but, moved to Australia when he was 13 at which he started dancing. By the time Sasha was 17, he had won the Australian Youth Latin Championships twice and represented Australia at the World Latin Championships. He was featured in the closing ceremony at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and has danced several times on Dancing with the Stars in the past. He is most known for his role in the highly successful dance theatre production Burn The Floor. He has been described as an “explosively, energetic dancer”.
Sharna Burgess, like Sasha, is also from Australia where she studied dance. She has also been a dancer in “Burn The Floor”.
If true, I think these dancers would be the perfect replacements even though I don’t understand why they dropped Nicole? She was fantastic as well.
The three new dancers will join Teddy Volynets, Kiki Nyemchek, and Oksana Dmytrenko who were are 2nd year members of the Dancing With The Stars Dance Troupe.
These three are fantastic can’t wait yo see them on the show I found this burn the floor playlist on youtube and it features Sasha. Sharna ,Tristan and Damien (no Peta 🙁 ) such a show http://www.youtube.com/user/Cesar68HD#p/c/9C706F66945C67B3/0/8PJCmxvAf_w
So excited about the new additions to the troupe! I’ll miss seeing Nicole, but I think these three will be great!
Sasha, Sarna, and Daria… Oh my, I’ll never keep these names straight…. LOL
ROFL Sandy – I thought the exact same when I read this post.
Can’t wait to see these new troupe members — even if the name thing is going to be a bit of a challenge 🙂
Ryan, I love that link! Thanks for posting. I added them to my Burn The Floor links.
Sandy and Linde, I get those names confused too, but, they are beautiful. I’ve always loved Russian names anyway. In fact, when I once raised Siberian Huskies, I named them all Russian names. lol
Another thing I love LOVE about DWTS is how they pick people from all walks of life and countries to do this show!
I am glad that they have replacement troupe members but I would have though they would have put Chelsie in the troupe since they didn’t giver her a pro.
Great to see those new troupe dancers. I just found Sasha Farber
web page http://sashafarber.com/ He is unbelievably talented dancer. Can’t wait to see them.
Sasha was a pro on the Australian Dancing With The Stars and he was paired with a ringeresque type person. They were eliminated mid season in a Sabrina Bryan style elimination. There are videos on YouTube of them, I’m prett sure 🙂
I’m glad Oksana is still in the troupe as she is my favorite. I’ve heard that that Burn The Floor is an amazing show so I’m sure these three would be excellent replacements
Wow, so happy to know Sasha Farber will be on DWTS USA troupe. This guy is fantastic! Saw him on DWTS season 2 on YouTube he was a pro dancer paired up with a celebrity singer he was great! He also danced in burn the floor.. Could not take my eyes of him he deffinatly stood out. His addition to the show gives me more reason to watch! The troupe group this season was literally hand picked- the best!
I’d still rather lose the troupe and see our regular Pros dance in the Pro dances.
Loose the troupe??? No way… the pros have their hands full with the celebrities. Plus its great to see new faces and new talent! I am excited to see the pro and the troupe dancers!
