Sharna Burgess announces she is returning to *Dancing With the Stars* as a professional dancer for Season 35. The news comes as Burgess confirms this will be her first time competing on the show since 2021.
Both outlets report that the return brings back a familiar presence to the *DWTS* ballroom lineup. ABC News describes the announcement as coming directly from Burgess, including a video of the reveal, while TVLine similarly states she is rejoining the show as a pro for the upcoming season. There is no additional detail across the reports about which celebrity partners she will have or specific dates for the new season. The coverage aligns on the core point: Burgess is scheduled to return after an absence beginning after her prior appearance in 2021.
