Let’s talk about Sharna Burgess, the incredible dancer who recently shared her heartfelt thoughts on not being part of the Season 28 cast of "Dancing With the Stars." Now, before you start worrying, Sharna isn’t letting this news get her down. In a candid chat with ET just before the show’s premiere on September 16, 2019, the Australian-born dance pro made it crystal clear that she holds no grudges. After all, she wasn’t asked back after her stunning win last fall, but she’s choosing to focus on the positives.
No Hard Feelings: Sharna Burgess Speaks Out
Sharna, who’s as beautiful as she is talented, made sure everyone knew she wasn’t throwing any shade. “There is absolutely no animosity from me. No drama, no negativity,” the 34-year-old dancer revealed. “Of course, there’s a little sadness, but that’s only natural. If I said I wasn’t sad, I’d be lying. And honestly, it’d be strange if I didn’t feel a bit down about it.” Sharna’s honesty is refreshing, and it’s clear that she’s handling the situation with grace and maturity.
A Look Back at Her Journey
Now, let’s rewind a bit. Sharna first broke the news about not returning to the show in late August. But guess what? She’s not shutting the door on a possible return. “I’d absolutely love to come back. I’m not saying no to that,” she said with a smile. “If the timing works out, I’d jump at the chance to perform or even choreograph an opening number. I’m all in for anything they throw my way.” Sharna’s enthusiasm is contagious, and it’s easy to see why fans adore her.

The Emotional Side of Things
Don’t get me wrong, Sharna isn’t pretending this is easy. Being cut from the show is tough, and she’s not shying away from those feelings. “It’s not like anyone’s saying it won’t be hard. Driving into CBS Studios, where ‘DWTS’ films, feels strange. There’s definitely a sense of loss because this show has been such a huge part of my life,” she admitted. “But I can’t be selfish about it. I can’t dwell on what’s gone. Instead, I need to focus on everything this show has given me over the last eight and a half years. It’s given me a life I could’ve only dreamed of.” Sharna’s perspective is inspiring, and it’s a reminder to always appreciate the journey.
Sharna, who’s known for her incredible performances alongside celebrity partners like Nick Carter and Antonio Brown, shared that what she’ll miss most is the deep connection she forms with her partners. “It’s not just the people around me that I’ll miss. It’s the entire experience of getting to know the person standing across from me. Understanding what they need, what they’re looking for in a coach, and how I can take their story and turn it into something that inspires others,” she explained. It’s this passion and dedication that makes Sharna such a beloved figure in the dance world.
Even though we’ll miss Sharna on the show, we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a future return. Until then, let’s celebrate everything she’s brought to "Dancing With the Stars" and cheer her on in whatever she does next!
