Ex-Jazz player Derek Fisher and BYU grad Lindsey Stirling will be ‘Dancing With the Stars’

The collection of B-list celebrities includes a former member of the Utah Jazz and a former BYU student/LDS missionary. And two of the professional dancers are locals.

Former Jazzman Derek Fisher — who played in Utah in 2006-07 before returning to the Los Angeles Lakers — will partner with professional dancer Sharna Burgess.

Violinist/dancer/composer/performance artist Lindsey Stirling — best known for her energetic YouTube videos — will partner with professional dancer Mark Ballas. Stirling is a Brigham Young University grad and former missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
