Sharna is a 31-year-old pro dancer and choreographer from Wagga Wagga, Australia.

She finished Season 20 in third place with Noah Galloway, Season 21 in second place with Nick Carter, Season 22 in fourth place with Antonio Brown, and last season in second place with James Hinchcliffe.

Sharna and James made it to the finale despite the fact she was dealing with a knee injury.

Sharna, who began her ballroom education at age 8, probably feels like she's due to win a mirrorball trophy because she has been so close to the prize in her last several season. Want to learn more about her?
