'Dancing With the Stars' Season 22: Sharna Burgess Talks 'Fantastic Chemistry' With Antonio Brown [VIDEO]
Sharna Burgess is aware that she and her Dancing With the Stars partner Antonio Brown have great chemistry with one another.
Brown and Burgess have only been dancing for a few weeks now, but they already have a strong connection. Their rumba, set to the song "Adorn" by Miguel, during Monday night's episode was perhaps the most passionate dance so far this season.
Burgess spoke about her connection with Brown in a new Extra blog:
"He and I do have a fantastic chemistry, and that will only get better throughout the show," she promised. "But what we do have to work on is his technique, his finesse, and his flow of movement throughout the dancing. We have the foxtrot next week, and I really want to show that we have worked on all those elements by improving his frame and posture."
Next Monday is "Most Memorable Year" Night, in which the celebrities dance with a theme related to the most significant year in their life. Burgess wrote that they have something special planned for Brown's Most Memorable Year.
"On top of all of that, I want to tell the story of his most memorable year the right way. He is doing the year he became a father for the first time, to his son Antonio Junior," she wrote. "I am excited about the concept I have and we will have his son dance in the number with us. I feel this will be a beautiful moment for the two of them."
Burgess also wrote about Brown having his eye on the prize—the prize being the Mirrorball trophy. If Brown were to win he would be another football player to take home the grand prize, following Emmitt Smith, Hines Ward and Donald Driver.
"I want Antonio and I to continue to focus in on each other and really enjoy every minute of it. I know he has the talent to go all the way to the end, and I know that he really wants to take that mirror ball back to Pittsburgh after Hines Ward. Looking forward to this week of rehearsals and more support from #TeamBoomin!" she wrote.
Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
