Dancing with the Stars has just announced that Sharna Burgess will be on the show's 19th season, making her the 13th pro dancer to join. An official announcement on who else will be in program will be made on Good Morning America on Sept. 4, and the program will air on Sept. 15.
Burgess's participation was made public in the program's Twitter page, which read: "Our 13th pro dancer for #DWTS Season 19 is... Sharna Burgess! Who's she dancing with? Find out Sept 4 on Good Morning America!"
She also announced it on her own account, saying, "Beautiful people I'm so excited to be able to finally tell you, IM BACK!"
Burgess is a dancer/ choreographer by profession. The 29-year old Australian paired with NFL's Keyshawn Johnson in season 17, and with the ice dancer Charlie White in season 18.
There has been a lot of speculation on who else will be joining the show. USA Today reports the names of celebrities that will possibly take to the dance floor this season, including ER's Antonio Sabato Jr., Bachelorette Andi Dorfman, American Ninja Warrior's Kacy Catanzaro, country singer Jessie James Decker, and Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kandi Burruss.
Although the name of soccer star Tim Howard has been tossed around, the publication expressed doubts on whether he would actually be on the show.
Other names that TV Grapevine mentions include Pretty Little Liars' Janel Parish, Olympian Lolo Jones, and Duck Dynasty's Sadie Robertson.
While the celebs remain a mystery, the names of the other pro dancers have already been announced, namely: Karina Smirnoff, Emma Slater, Peta Murgatroyd, Keo Motsepe, Derek Hough, Allison Holker, Tony Dovolani, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Artem Chigvintsev, Witney Carson, Cheryl Burke, and Mark Ballas.
The judges are Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, and Julianne Hough.
