Sharna Burgess Asked About Dancing With The Stars Season 21 And More, Keep Peta Murgatroyd In Your Thoughts
Sharna Burgess just got periscope. Below she talks with fans about her recent trip to Australia, Noah Galloway, working with Meryl Davis & Charlie White, and Dance Fusion. She’s also asked about Dancing With The Stars. She doesn’t mention being “in” as a pro this season, but, close as she mentions she hasn’t met her pro yet and she won’t know until she walks into “the room”. Sharna also mentions that she’s dancing in the Dancing With The Stars Live Tour next winter (if there is one). More below.
And keep Peta Murgatroyd in your thoughts. She tweeted that she’s “struggling”. She said she’s ok, but, she’s tired and worn out. Her ankle might be giving her fits again too. She also instagramed that she’s going to miss Keo Motsepe and All Bersten as the tour came to an end last night. Let’s hope she’s going to be ok and still able to dance in the new season of Dancing With The Stars.
Sharna is awesome!! Hope Peta gives that ankle some well deserved R&R! 🙂
The way Sharna talks about Peta kinda makes me wonder if she’s at risk for not being a pro this season, due to her ankle…
Yeah, it really makes you wonder on Peta? It’s sad as they should have took her out of the tour completely so she could have had time to heal it properly.
I personally wouldn’t mind if Peta wasn’t a pro. I think that she over-dances & I don’t really care for her choreo, so that wouldn’t bother me. Hope she feels better though.
I agree about Peta. I had an ankle injury last year and it took a long time to heal. Itwas only a sprain but It was honestly about 8 months before the twinge-worthy movements went away completely. And I am not a dancer. Maybe she needed to work for the money? I am undecided about her as a pro. Sometimes in past performances it seemed I noticed her “filler” or “fluff” choero more than the other pros. She would always do the splits a lot. ( of course it was great but took away from her celeb). Several times I remember something like a step on right foot then clap four times in the shape of a box to the beat of the music. That would take up a whole 8 count?!? Always seemed too simplistic or outdated.
Love, love, love Sharna. And her spirit.
Not that this has anything to do with whether they’re on the show or not (or does it), but the new S21 promo poster has Peta and Artem.
If Peta is injured I hope she gives her ankle time to heal this season. IMO the show should’ve pulled her from Tour for it to heal if it was an issue then. I’ve always liked Peta, her tangos with Derek are awesome and I wish they actually did a full one on show as opposed to snippet in A to Z last year. She earned my respect during her season with Tommy Chong because that couldn’t have been easy teaching same routine every day. And we liked her with Donald Driver (who doesn’t like him!) and my daughter loved James Maslow on BTR so we enjoyed their partnership. I just wish her the best and pray she’s replaced by Lindsey (or Karina or Chelsie H) and not Jenna if need be.
If they had pulled Peta out of the tour the Maksyl shippers would have had a grand old time. They already condemned Peta for faking her ankle injury so she could spend more time with Maks. As it happened she only had to miss 3 shows so she could go to Nicole’s wedding. Yet a lot of pros also got injured and missed a lot of shows(Artem, Keo, Rumer). Peta continued to do the tour altho sometimes she did not do all the dances as she tried to rest her ankle. I was never a fan of her but I admired her continuing to do the tour while Maksyl fans continued to spew hate on her even demanding that they write to DWTS to get her fired for her fake injury.
I certainly wish Peta a speedy recovery but she isn’t one of my favorite ladies (I just do not like her aggressive style)and I’m not going to be too upset if she sits out Season 21. But – I hope she feels better…
@CM – Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much correlation between who’s in the poster and who makes pro each season – I think they’ve used Kym, Tristan, and Anna in posters for seasons that they were never even a part of.
Maybe Peta’s ankle would have had more time to heal if she didn’t dance in Sway right before the tour, or spend her off days strolling around NYC and LA with Maks for the paparazzi. I’m sure it also didn’t help that she had to fly across the country on her off day to go to Maks since he was obviously too busy playing shirtless golf and drinking protein shakes in the park to go to her.
Donna, during Sway, maybe Peta didn’t think her ankle was that bad. Also, just because her ankle is hurt, doesn’t mean she can’t spend time with her boyfriend, shop with him, etc, or travel to go see him. And maybe he didn’t go to her because he has other commitments too.
#12 Vogue the ankle was bad enough before Sway that she had to fly to Ohio to see a specialist and spend a week there getting physical therapy. She said she was told by the specialist to stay off of it as much as possible if she expected to finish the tour. Dancing for 3 days in Sway and walking around the city isn’t staying off of it. As for Maks having commitments all I can say to that is LOL.
Donna, do you realize how many dancers have ankle and foot injuries and they keep on dancing? And I see nothing wrong with her wanting to dance in Sway or walking down a street with Maks.
It won’t break my heart if Peta sits out Season 21. However, she seems a decent (albeit naive) person so I certainly wish her a full and speedy recovery. As far as her relationship with Maks, well that’s entirely between the two of them; so I’m not commenting on her personal life and the choices she makes in it.
#14 No Vogue I wouldn’t know how many because I don’t see a lot of them complaining about their injuries. All I’m doing is explaining why I feel zero sympathy for Peta, but I am bowing out now.
Peta’s not stupid, she’ll know that if she sits out this season she might not get back in. She’ll suck it up and dance through the pain if she has to.
I wouldn’t care if both Sharna and Peta are on S-21. I love Sharna personality and her great spirit.
+1 Cids!!!
M8, I kind of wonder on that too. She’ll dance no matter what.
Btw, did you guys notice how Sharna mentioned meeting a “Deena”? I wonder if it was Deena Katz?
Petra’s tweet was cryptic and she never followed it up. Hell I struggle to get a parking space at the mall or to get to sleep. I know she’s been dealing with an ankle issue, but do we know with 100% certainly that’s what it is. It could mean she misses her boyfriend, she has car problems….etc.
Oops, I meant Peta.
No, I doubt it Vogue. As Casting Director of DWTS, she’s probably known that Deena for years.
