Sharna was recently paired with former NBA champion Derek Fisher on Dancing with the Stars and with bull rider Bonner Bolton before that. Prior to Bonner, she had been paired with Indy Car racer James Hinchcliffe, and the two finished in second place.

Sharna has made it all the way to the finals multiple times, including a second-place finish with Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, but she has never walked away with a mirrorball trophy.


That could all change this season for Sharna and her professional partner, country music radio personality Bobby Bones. Maybe this is Sharna's time to shine on Dancing with the Stars!

While it's been said Bobby isn't the best technical dancer on the show this season, he has many supporters and certainly doesn't lack spirit and charisma.

Until fans can watch Sharna and Bobby take the stage again on November 19, let's learn more about the beautiful redhead behind the choreography.
