Sharna Burgess has perfectly captured the power of female friendships in her latest blog.
“Something very special for me about being on tour is that I am lucky enough to perform across the country with a group of wonderfully talented people and among them is some incredibly strong and powerful women,” the Dancing With The Stars pro starts off.
Much like Lindsay Arnold touched on in her past blogs with JJJ, Sharna also found out that once she ditched the judgement about others and about herself, she was able to truly be confident and shines a light on how that only helped her forge amazing friendships with all of the female dancers on DWTS.
“I appreciate the presence of all the hard-working, passionate women I am surrounded by everyday,” Sharna adds. “As different as we appear to be on the outside, at our core we are very much the same. We are infinite. We are women. Strong, gentle, intelligent, understanding and compassionate.”
“My co-stars on DWTS are just a few of the outstanding examples of women in my life that I appreciate, admire and learn from every day. The universe has put these people in my path to travel some part of my journey with. I don’t take that for granted anymore.”

Dancing With The Stars is down one judge this season on the show, as Julianne Hough took the season off to start filming a brand new movie — and the pros are definitely missing her.
“I miss her,” pro Sharna Burgess admitted to ET after Tuesday night’s show. “I miss Jules’ energy up there, her knowledge on ballroom dance and the way she would critique the information she would give.”
She adds, “I think she was such a wonderful part of our panel, and she is seriously missed by all of us.”
Sharna continued, saying that Julianne was a beam of positivity on the panel for everyone on the show and not having her around, might’ve affected scoring.
“I’d never even thought of that [affecting the scores], actually,” she says. “We’ve just been so tunnel vision on what we’ve got to do. But I think that is a big part of it, even if Jules was to give a six, she always had something [nice] to say about it. So, you are right.”
No word on if Julianne will return for next year’s show or not.
Derek Hough is definitely in love with Hayley Erbert!
Just after walking the red carpet with Hayley at the 2017 Creative Arts Emmy Awards in Los Angeles over the weekend, and dipping her for a kiss, the Emmy nominee headed to Instagram to rave about his love for the DWTS troupe dancer.
“Nothing better in the world than sharing your experiences with the woman you love,” he wrote. “Everything is amplified in the best possible way. #love #emmys #redcarpet @hayley.erbert.”
They are so cute!
Derek and Hayley hit the event along with his sister Julianne Hough, her husband Brooks Laich, as well as Sharna Burgess and Emmy winners, choreographers Mandy Moore and Travis Wall.

Sharna Burgess is one of our favorite pros on Dancing With The Stars and in the past few seasons, has missed the mirrored-ball trophy by thismuch.
Seriously, she’s been so close to that trophy with her respective partners, only to miss out just a little bit, ending up everywhere from runner-up, to 5th place.
While we have a feeling about who Sharna is partnered up with this season (he’s an athlete; she’s always with athletes it seems), it still won’t stop us from dreaming of another partner for her for season 26 and beyond.
Check out all the guys inside that we want Sharna Burgess paired up with…
At the start of Dancing With The Stars in season 24, there was so much talk about a rumored romance between pro Sharna Burgess and bull rider Bonner Bolton, but it was just that — talk.
So, why didn’t a romance happen? Let Sharna explain:
“Last season, fans were very much hoping that Bonner [Bolton] and I were going to get together,” she shared with US Weekly mag. “We met and had incredible chemistry and neither of us were against it.”
However, there was one big factor in Team DenimNDiamonds never going out: “I was the coach and he was the student.”
Sharna adds, “Our dynamic changed. I don’t know if I’d be able to be romantic on one side and then the boss on the other. It never got to be a romance.”
She isn’t closed off to never having a romance stem from the show. “I’d love a fairytale like Kym and Robert [Herjavec, who were paired together in 2015].”
Dancing With The Stars premieres on Monday, September 18th on ABC.
Sharna Burgess is all smiles at the Television Academy’s Choreography peer group celebration held at Saban Media Center on Sunday (August 27) in North Hollywood, Calif.
