Sharna Burgess Hoping To Be Back For The Dancing With The Stars Semi-Finals
Sharna Burgess tells Entertainment Tonight that she’s hoping to be back for the semi-finals next week on Dancing With The Stars. However, she’ll have a back up plan just in case she can’t. more below. Be sure to read the link for more.
During next week’s show, which airs Monday night at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, the remaining couples will be paired off for a trio of team dances. Burgess is planning on taking the stage with Hinchcliffe, as well as Jenna Johnson, who has been filling in as the IndyCar racer’s pro partner.
“For our trio, we have Jenna,” Burgess confirmed to ET. “We wanted to keep #TeamStopAndGo going. We’ve been together for the last two weeks and we felt like we would love to have her as part of our trio, so Jenna is going to be working with us. And also, we have Argentine Tango this week, which is amazing!”
“There’s a backup plan if I can’t do it,” she added. “It’s going to be a last-minute decision again, but there is obviously another person who is going to learn and step in, if I can’t actually do it.”
ETA: From E Online. She’ll be back!! YAY Thanks to Abby for the heads up.
She’s back, babies! Sharna Burgess is off the Dancing With the Stars sidelines and returning to the dance floor with IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe for the Monday, Nov. 14 show. The two have been rehearsing after a knee injury sidelined Sharna. Professional dancer Jenna Johnson competed with James in her place.
“The last two weeks were really tough, but certainly worth the wait and getting healthy,” Sharna told E! News in an exclusive statement. “And now I can officially say I am back! I am feeling great and so excited to be back dancing with James this week! It has been amazing to watch him deliver such great performances these past two weeks, but I am so excited to be back in for the semi-finals and take James to the finale!!”
I do so hope Sharna can return. An AT danced by James and Sharna should be amazing
Ditto Sandra!!
I sure hope Sharna is back, I miss her dancing, and I have had enough with Jenna dancing over the top. I still stand by the fact that a different pro could have done a better job with James.
Sharna better come back! can you imagine having a drop in trio-partner at the last moment with an already different partner? i just don’t want to see that
I hope she is back next week! On All Access last night they asked if she would be in and she said she “wasn’t allowed to say”, but she pretty deliberately nodded her head yes. I’m hoping that’s a good sign. I might just be reading too much into it!
Just read it, can’t believe they asked her if Jenna would also get a MBT. James and Sharna didn’t work their butt off for weeks just for Jenna to Waltz in before the finals and take credit.
Seriously? People asked if Jenna would get a mirrorball? Sasha subbed in for Derek for longer, and also did a much better job of it than Jenna. No one ever asked if he would get a mirrorball if they won.
I would hope that Jenna while appreciative of the thought would turn it down because while yes she helped it was SHARNA not Jenna who was his partner.
Jenna can’t get a mirror ball for that. all she did was fill in for Sharna as a dancer. it was sharna’s teaching and choreography and her partnership with James that got them this far. Also I agree that Sasha was a much better fill in for Derek than Jenna for Sharna
A reunion Argentine Tango. Oh man this is going to be one for the books.
Question: Would Sharna wearing a knee brace have the trade-off of 1) Protecting against injury, but 2) limiting range of movement?
I don’t know much about knee braces and dancing – comments?
She could tape it which would provide a bit more range of motion, but who knows? Seems like she’s been wearing a sleeve, not a hugely supportive brace.
I’m really excited she’s back, I LOVE her Argentine Tangos.
Looking forward to a Sharna & James Tango with brace/tape/sleeve or without.
