Personal life

Bersten was born and raised in Minnesota. His family heritage is Russian. He started dancing at the age of 7.[3]

In 2018, Bersten was on tour with Dancing With The Stars when he began to have severe stomach pain. A blood test showed he had symptoms of a tumor on one of his parathyroid glands called hyperparathyroidism. He underwent surgery the next day to remove his left parathyroid. Bersten returned to work after only a week of recovery.[4]

Dancing With The Stars

Performances

Bersten started working on Dancing With The Stars in season 20 as a member of the troupe. He remained in that role for four more seasons until he made his debut as a professional partner in season 25.

During the second week of season 22, Bersten danced a salsa with Paige VanZant, as VanZant's regular partner, Mark Ballas, suffered a back injury during rehearsals. Bersten learned the entire dance routine on one day's notice and performed the dance for the live show the following day.[5] In season 24, Bersten danced with Heather Morris for four weeks while Morris's regular partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, was recovering from an injury.

Bersten was promoted to a professional partner in season 25, where he was partnered with 1980s singer-songwriter and Broadway actress Debbie Gibson.[6] They were eliminated in the second week and took 12th place.[7] Bersten was also featured on the official promotional poster for the show that season alongside fellow cast member Sharna Burgess.[8]

For season 26, Bersten was partnered with Olympic figure skater Mirai Nagasu.[9] They were eliminated in the third week of competition, tying for 4th place with Chris Mazdzer and partner Witney Carson and Jennie Finch Daigle and partner Keo Motsepe.[10]

For season 27, Bersten was partnered with model Alexis Ren.[11] The couple reached the finals and took 4th place.[12]

For season 28, Bersten was partnered with The Bachelorette star Hannah Brown.[13] They reached the finals and were crowned the season's champions on November 25, 2019.[2]

For season 29, Bersten returned to compete again and is paired with Disney Channel star Skai Jackson.[14] They were eliminated week 10, finishing in 5th place.[15]

For season 30, Bersten was partnered with The Talk co-host and dancer Amanda Kloots.[16] They reached the finals and finished in 4th place.

For season 31, Bersten was partnered with country music singer Jessie James Decker.[17] They were eliminated week 6, finishing in 10th place.[citation needed]
