New Dancing With The Stars “Dance All Night” Tour Interview With Sharna Burgess
In a new interview, Sharna Burgess talks of how much fun she had dancing with Nick Carter on Dancing With The Stars. She mentions her favorite moments and more. She also talked on the new Dancing With The Stars “Dance All Night” Tour. Here is more from Mass Live….
More memorable, Burgess said, was how Carter looked out for ailing contestant Tamar Braxton during a performance. “Everybody got to see the kind of guy Nick is. He is always putting everyone else first.”
Moments like that is perhaps why Burgess calls the ABC competitive dance series “the ultimate feel good show.”
“People tune in to be inspired,” Burgess said. “People watch these celebrities… learn something from the ground up, show their flaws and not be afraid.”
In addition to patience and a supportive nature, a “DWTS” pro must be able to evolve and adapt, she said.
Choreography is not just steps, but making your celebrity partner look good, she added.
“The show is not about us. It’s about the journey that we can create for the person standing in front of us and how we teach them,” Burgess said. “There is a whole of world skill sets you need to be a successful pro on ‘Dancing With the Stars.'”
Unlike the TV series, the “‘Dancing With the Stars Live!” tour focuses on the talent of the participating pros, who include Lindsay Arnold, Alan Bersten, Brittany Cherry, Artem Chigvintsev, Valentin Chmerkovski, Jenna Johnson, Keo Motsepe, Peta Murgatroyd and Emma Slater. Season 21 contestant Alek Skarlatos will also take part.
“It is self-indulgent. It is everything we want to do at our very best – everything creative that we have been waiting to do,” Burgess said. “It is is the ultimate tour for us to shine.”
The tour kicks off Dec. 15 in West Valley City, Utah, and comes to the 1,500-seat Shubert Theatre in Boston on Jan. 7 and the 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena for two nights, Jan. 8-9. Tickets for VIP packages with meet and greet opportunities are available through dwtstour.com
“There is nothing like performing before thousands of people in front of you,” Burgess said. “I cannot wait to come to the Mohegan Sun and see those amazing 10,000 faces in front us entertained by what we are doing.”
Burgess, who began dancing at the age of 5, is no stranger to live performances. She took part in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games closing ceremony and was a lead dancer in “Burn The Floor” on Broadway and the world tour.
“The live stage is where I feel most at home,” Burgess said. “I feel the buzz of the audience and it charges me. I am so lucky to get do do what I love.”
