Dancing With The Stars Noah Galloway And Sharna Bugess Begin Rehearsals – Photo
Wow, what a stunning shot at Noah Galloway’s Facebook page of he and his Dancing With The Stars partner Sharna Burgess! I can’t get enough of it. He posted the photo along with the quote below.
Sharna Burgess and I FINALLY started rehearsing today after some travel issues.
I am so excited about working with such a talented dancer. I am trusting her completely and soaking up everything she is teaching me. I truly believe the end result will be amazing.
And at Sharna’s instagram, she posted this….
Day 2… Just sayin Noah impresses me more and more every minute, I am so excited for our @dancingabc journey. #anythingispossible #noexcuses
That’s right!! Beautiful!
Could history repeat itself with him winning like JR
Nathan, JR didn’t have physical limitations and he was a very good natural dancer. But this guy has charisma and I’m sure he is a hard worker. The one thing I can guarantee — he will be in finals.
Love this picture. Noah and Sharna look amazing!
Nathan, what do you mean by “him winning like JR”? JR won not only because he was a war veteran but because he had a lot of natural dance talent. He and Karina worked their butts off (and were pretty much out of gas the last two weeks, in my opinion).
As Alicia said, Noah has more physical challenges to overcome than JR, and I’ll add that right now we have no idea if he’s got any musicality or dance ability.
Noah’s charisma, work ethic and inspirational story will carry him a long way, but in the end he’ll also have to be able to dance.
I’ve got every finger and toe crossed that this handsome vet can dance.
Wow such a beautiful picture. Hopefully we get to see a lot of these two. I really hope that the hate that was spewed upon Amy will not rear it’s ugly head again.
WOW – this photo is A MA ZING !
I have high hopes for this team, can’t wait to see them in rehearsals
Noah isn’t threatening the precious…so I doubt you’ll see any hate at all.
So true PH.
This is one of those times where I actually wish they would have Contemporary on Week 1. I think Noah and Sharna could do a beautiful Contemporary dance together. And he would make a good first impression on the public and the judges. This man is so damn inspiring.. just wow.
That being said though, I don’t think he has a place in the Finals secured just yet. If he doesn’t have rhythm and just doesn’t dance well, his votes will only take him so far. There’s plenty of people who look past the inspiring story and won’t vote for him if he is a sloppy dancer. Just hope that if he isn’t good at first at least he shows improvement throughout the weeks.
And yeah the only way Noah will probably get hate is if he is paired with Derek 😛
Based soley on this picture, I think they are going to be ones to watch. You can’t fake that chemistry.
I do have kind of a silly worry that the judges will take the backlash they felt from Amy detractors, and inadvertently “punish” Noah and Sharna because of it. I know it sounds stupid.
There are some other pics floating around of them, and it looks like they laugh a lot and have fun, so I’m excited to see how everything works out. No matter what, I think Sharna will give Noah the best most positive experience she can, and I’m excited to watch however long it lasts.
Didn’t Candace have Contemporary week 1?
Love the picture, but that’s only one shot of a whole lot more involved. I’m for sure cheering for this team though.
CC, I agree Contemporary could be a good way for Noah to start the season. Sharna would be able to show off his strength and balance (which he obviously has by that picture) without having to worry about strict adherence to ballroom rules. It would be good for them to come out with a strong first performance that says, “yes, we’re here to compete not just be inspirational.”
Misty, yes she did. And she never was really able to capture that again. She just kept getting in her own head. Props to her for making it to 3rd, though.
From the other pics I’ve seen, (they are sourceless, and seen on social media, so I assume can’t be posted here) it actually looked like Noah/Sharna have Samba. Or at least that’s what they were practicing in the moment. The pros might give them a little taste of everything before they find out their first dance, who knows?
This is an awesome shot!!! Look at the muscle in that man’s leg. I can imagine the muscle in his right arm, also. I have to admit, that this military veteran “hero” gets to me already and the show hasn’t even begun! One reason is: my oldest brother was drafted in 1954 and enlisted into the Marine Corp and his last assignment as repairman of manned machinery was in Guang Nam, South Vietnam where he was shot in the chest and killed by a sniper and became America’s beloved “Purple Heart” Hero in 1966. He only had 4 months left of his service. So yes, I have a soft spot for Noah. This is going to be a tough season to pick my favorite for sure!! Sharna is already showing her talent as a teacher just as a suspected she would and I am looking forward to what she and Noah bring to the dance floor.
I should have “proof”..correction on the enlisted year, it’s was 1964, sorry.
Misty, Charlie and Sharna also had Contemporary Week 1 in Season 18, as did Dorothy Hamill/Tristan in Season 16. As we saw with Candace, there is some danger in coming out so strong and feeling like you have to live up to that every week. However, considering what Noah’s gone through, I’d day he’s mentally tougher than Candace.
CM, I haven’t seen the pictures you’re referring to, but I think most of the pros have their celebs try out a bunch of different moves and steps to gauge their strengths and weaknesses. Sharna might have been showing Noah what Samba steps look/feel like, but I can’t imagine TPTB would give them Samba in Week 1, that would be a brutal assignment.
NO ONE has the finals locked up just yet. And week 1 is not the best indication of ability. Week 2 and 3 will be the real test.
I’ll be waiting for CAI’s classless ‘frame’ comment in the quickstep – when they get too good and they pull out the “I have to treat everyone equal” B*S
Hopefully, she(CAI) can at least keep her a** in her seat this season. Hmm….maybe some gorilla glue.
There is a whole lot of trust and strength going on in that photo. Hope we get to see one of their rehearsals.
Sharna tweeted that we’ll get to see them rehearse “very soon.” Should be cool. The little video clip Noah’s “team” posted on his twitter looks promising.
