With the "cat out of the bag," Sharna Burgess excitedly shared her return to "Dancing with the Stars" as one of their confirmed pros for the show's upcoming season.
Celebrities will soon return to television screens in the hopes of dancing their way to the top when "Dancing with the Stars" returns for its 29th season next month, and dancing pro Sharna Burgess is happy to be a part of it.
The popular ABC reality show will see model Tyra Banks as their host for the first time, and Burgess felt a sense of relief at finally being able to share the exciting news with her fans.
BURGESS BURSTING WITH EXCITEMENT
A
pro on the television show, Burgess, appeared in 12 seasons of the show, even though she got axed at the beginning of season 28. Alongside a nailbiting picture, Burgess
:
"It’s official, the cats out of the bag and I am BACK on @dancingabc for season 29 ? I’m grateful, I’m excited, and I am so ready to get back on that dance floor."
THE OTHER PROS JOINING SEASON 29
The upcoming season will see Daniella Karagach and Britt Stewart join the team of professional dancers, and old fan-favorites are returning as well.
Pea Murgatroyd, Cheryl Burke, Jenna Johnson, Emma Slater, Gleb Savchenko, Sasha Farber, Pasha Pashkov, Brandon Armstrong, Alan Bersten, Keo Motsepe, and Val Chmerkovskiy will all make their way back to the dance floor.
WHEN THE NEW SEASON STARTS
Season 29 is set to premiere on September 14, and the celebrities dancing it out will only be announced at a later date, but fans can expect the wonder of a two-hour premiere.
After being cut from the previous season, Burgess felt no animosity towards her "DWTS" family, and she is determined to fight for the mirrorball trophy she last won in the show's 27th season.
WHY BURGESS LEFT SEASON 28
During an interview in September last year, Burgess elaborated on the axing phone call she received before their rehearsal for "Good Morning America."
"I could hear it in his voice from the moment the phone call started, and my adrenaline spiked," Burgess explained. "I pulled over, and he let me know that they love me, and I am very much a part of the family at DWTS, but they could not partner me up with a partner this season."

WITNEY CARSON WON'T FEATURE EITHER
Popular dancing pro Witney Carson will not be joining the upcoming season of the popular reality show because she is preparing for a big event.
The event is the birth of her first child with husband Carson McAllister, and a recent gender reveal party shared that the couple will welcome a son into the world in January. Congratulations!
