Professional Australian dancer Sharna Burgess works on the number one ABC television show, Dancing With The Stars, as a pro dancer and choreographer. Throughout Sharna’s competitive career, she has continued to collect numerous titles around the globe and appeared in a UK tour with the theatre show Simply Ballroom. Shortly after, she went on a world tour with the hit dance sensation Burn The Floor for six years. In 2009, Burn The Floor landed on Broadway with Sharna as one of the lead female dancers. Upon her departure from the theater, Sharna quickly made the transition to film and television. She has worked with A-list choreographers to fuse the hip-hop and Latin worlds together and even choreographed on the feature film Street Dance 2 3D. This innovative unification created a whole new style and landed her on one of the biggest prime-time network television shows, Dancing With The Stars, after years of devotion, passion and perseverance to her artistry and craft.
