Last night I caught a celebrity episode of Food Network's Chopped that had Karina Smirnoff cooking for her charity, City of Hope. She won! Very Happy

I saw that, sue. If her cooking is half as good as her dancing, it is probably to die for...

by **kincaid53** Thu Dec 08, 2016 2:24 pm

   Karina is beautiful, funny, amazing dancer and can cook!?!?     Impressive!!

      I just watched the video of Keo and Sharnas rehearsal dance for the tour. Beautiful!!   You are probably right dmd about James, they do plan those things ahead of time, but a girl can dream!!

   I wasn't going to rub this in, but seeing Sharna in person dance on the tour last year....she's all you can imagine and more!! No surprise here why everyone fell in love with this lovely Aussie and handsome Canadian and they were so wonderful to watch!!

by **DeadManDancing** Thu Dec 08, 2016 4:25 pm

Keep rubbing it in, sis. I don't mind it at all. Are you going to see the tour this year?

by **Lesallee** Thu Dec 08, 2016 11:50 pm

Seeing reports that Erin and her handsome Canadian, Jarret Stoll are engaged.

I would love to, but probably won't. There is not a show near where I live this time. Sad

Sharna put up more tour rehearsal clips on her IG. Don't miss them. Alan and Artem are involved. Wink

by **kincaid53** Sun Dec 11, 2016 1:53 pm

Oh Goody!! Excited

I'm going to watch now!!

by **kincaid53** Sun Dec 11, 2016 2:00 pm

There is a cute video Maksim took of Peta in a hallway after a long day of meetings. Peta is sitting on the floor saying " I'm too fat to get up" Maks says 'Yes you can......Peta put up a good fight, but baby Chmerkovskiy always wins out" !!!

You've probably seen this by now, bro.

Of course I have- this one and all the others. But thank you anyway. However, not only did she post it on IG. She also put it up on her website to illlustrate her latest blog. Read it, and you'll understand what has changed and how and why she was so incredible this season. https://www.sharnaburgess.com/#blog-section

Just when I thought I couldn't love and respect this Lovely lady anymore than I already do, she shares this!!! Thanks brother for putting this up!
Also beautiful picture sis, thanks!

So raw and real. Amazing what we are willing to put ourselves through for this funny thing called "love"

Sharna on Twitter/ retweeted by Oti:

Our potential exceeds our perspective. Imagine what you could do without your limited view of your own possibilities. #foodforthought

by **DeadManDancing** Sun Dec 18, 2016 3:16 pm

Not (yet?) on DWTS, but a Lovely Lady for sure. Thank you for an incredible season on Strictly, Oti.

I changed the title of this topic as we appreciate the Lovely Ladies of Strictly Come Dancing too.

Another picture of Lovely Lady Oti.

Thank you sis. It was about time to make it official. No better place to celebrate their beauty, grace, charm, talent, and hard work than the LL-thread. We all have seen Oti and Joanne dominating the Strictly finale, but now I want to take the opportunity to honour this Lovely Lady. She is actually a perfect fit: former DWTS troupe member Oksana Platero just finished her first season on Strictly in 5th place with Judge Rinder. It was amazing to watch how she turned this guy into a dancer over the weeks.

No objection, sis. See the above. I'm working on it.

What a wonderful blog from a wonderful lady. Thanks DMD. Very Happy

Quite a few of my favorite pro dancers are from Australia. Sharna, Peta, Kym...the list wouldn't be complete without her: the wonderful Natalie Lowe.

There is a short Q & A on Sharna at the SouthernFamilyFun website.

Sharna Burgess (Dancing With The Stars): I would say I creatively did some of my favorite stuff last season with James! Our cirque Broadway inspired Quickstep, our 1940s jitterbug, our librarian and nerd foxtrot or our freestyle. To be honest the whole season was my best effort both artistically and in difficulty.

by **Lesallee** Thu Dec 22, 2016 11:41 am

And it still rankles that Sharna's outstanding season wasn't rewarded as it should have been. But an Emmy nom would be sweet reward and would shine on her resume far more than winning a MBT. That's my Christmas wish for Sharna.

by **DeadManDancing** Fri Dec 23, 2016 1:18 pm

We all were disappointed when we didn't get the perfect ending for this fairytale. Slightly mad would describe it even better in my case. I just hope it will not take her as long as Maks to get that darn trophy. She should have competed for it with Charlie. She could have won it with Nick. She should have won it with James. However, I have decided to move on and just be grateful- for getting the opportunity to watch Sharna grow and blossom in this partnership. My Christmas wishes for her wouldn't even fit in here, but you know I second the Emmy nomination. As of now, Harley and the Joker have reached 1.7 million clicks on YT; and that is only the DWTS channel. What she has created this season will rank alongside with classics like Mel and Maks' Paso, Helio and Julianne's Quickstep, Kellie and Derek's Freestyle, and Corbin and Karina's Jazz; to name a few. That's how good she is to me.
