Sasha is currently paired with disgraced former Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding for the show's special athletes edition. Tonya wasn't sure how the audience would perceive her, but after the pair performed their first routine of the season, they received a standing ovation in the ballroom.
Tonya and Sasha have survived a couple weeks of competition, and the athlete is such a hard worker that she might just skate her way into the finals. Until viewers are able to watch the couple's next dance, let's learn more about the man behind the choreography.
