Every ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Pro, Then And Now

Sharna was a fan favorite since her debut in spring 2013 for season 16. She has been a constant for the last 12 seasons, but that all changed for season 28. After a controversial win with radio host Bobby Bones — he had the lowest average score of any champion — Sharna was not asked to be a pro or participate in the troupe for season 28.

She said on Instagram at the time that "there are things coming into my world that I’m excited to dive into now that I have time." (Sharna has been serving as a judge on Dancing With the Stars Australia.) The pro seems pretty happy to be back, praising her partner Jesse Metcalfe on Instagram. "I’ve loved getting to know you the last week and can’t wait for everyone else to get to know how awesome you are," she said.

Louis danced his way onto the scene in 2005 for season one of DWTS when he competed with Bachelor Nation’s Trista Sutter, who was eliminated week one. Louis danced for the first three seasons, served as a choreographer for seasons four and five, and took a five-season hiatus at season 16. In his 10 seasons, Louis never won and only made it to the finals once with Kelly Osbourne. His last appearance was season 21 in the fall of 2015, but he didn’t hang up his dancing shoes: He's now a judge on Dancing With The Stars Holland.

Jonathan competed on seven seasons of Dancing With The Stars, starting in 2005. The furthest he went was third with Marie Osmond on season five of the show.

Edyta is one-half of an OG DWTS couple. She has been married to Alec Mazo, who is also her dance partner, since 2007, two years after her debut on the first season.

Alec sporadically participated in five of the first nine seasons. He started off strong by winning the first season with model and actress Kelly Monaco. After playing an uncredited role in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Alec went to Stanford University to get his Master’s degree in business so he and wife Edyta could start their own dancing production company.

Andrea and ESPN correspondent Kenny Mayne were the first pair eliminated on season two in 2006. Andrea never came back to the show after that. With no social media and no news on where she is now, it’s clear that Andrea has kept a very low profile.

Tony made his first appearance on season two and was on the show for 21 consecutive seasons. He won the All-Stars season with reality TV star Melissa Rycroft — and reality TV is one of the reasons he left the show. On a 2018 episode of Hollywood Life’s podcast, Tony revealed he cut ties with the competition series because the antics of the reality TV personalities interfered with his teaching. Now he is a teacher for Fred Astaire Dance Studios.

Anna competed in 11 seasons between 2006 and 2015. She finished second twice with athletes Jerry Rice and Evan Lysacek.
