[edit] Early Life / Cheetah Girls
Sabrina Bryan was born in Orange County, California. She is of Mexican descent on her father's side. She attended Chapman University in Orange, CA from 2003 until 2007, she studied Public Relations and Advertising. She was initiated into Delta Gamma there. Following the success of the Disney Channel original movie The Cheetah Girls, Bryan, along with Adrienne Bailon and Kiely Williams (the other stars from the movie), achieved greater success as a member of the official Cheetah Girls girl group. In November of 2005 the group released their Christmas album Cheetah-licious Christmas and also toured the U.S. on their Cheetah-licious Christmas Tour to promote the album.
The Cheetah Girls 2 premiered on the Disney Channel on August 25, 2006, garnering in more viewers than High School Musical, becoming the most-watched Disney Channel Original Movie before being beaten out by both Jump In! and High School Musical 2. After the release of The Cheetah Girls 2, Bryan, along with her fellow Cheetah Girls, toured the U.S. yet again on their The Party's Just Begun Tour.
The Cheetah Girls released their official debut studio album TCG, on September 25, 2007. The first single from the album, So Bring It On, was released to Radio Disney on August 25, 2007. The music video for the song premiered on Disney Channel on September 7, 2007. Bryan, Bailon, and Willams are reportly going on tour in the summer of 2008.
Bryan, Bailon, and Williams filmed The Cheetah Girls 3 in India from January through mid March 2008. The movie premieres on the Disney Channel on August 22, 2008. [3]
[edit] Television appearances
Bryan has acted in several TV shows, with a notable guest appearance in several episodes of the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. She was in the pilot episode for TV show King's Pawn which didn't get picked up and on another show called Driving Me Crazy which never aired. She then had guest appearances in shows like The Geena Davis Show and The Jersey. She also appeared in the hit TV show, Grounded For Life, before her rise to stardom in The Cheetah Girls. [4]
[edit] Dancing with the Stars
Bryan competed in the fifth season of Dancing with the Stars. Bryan and her professional dancing partner, Mark Ballas, received a score of 26 out of 30, at the time the highest score earned in the first week by any contestant. On Week 4 of the show, they set another record by receiving a 30/30 from the judges for their paso doble, the earliest any contestant has ever received a perfect score in the show's history. Bryan led all contenders in judges' scoring in Weeks 1, 3, and 4. Bryan received her lowest score, a 25 for a foxtrot, during Week 6, in which she also performed a Rock n' Roll routine with the other contestants. That week, she was voted off; the announcement was met by shock and tears from the show's judges, contestants and live audience, since she and Ballas were favored by many to win the competition. An AOL poll voted their elimination "2007's most shocking TV moment." The next week, the remaining dancers and celebrities showed their continued support and affection for Bryan by donning her signature cheetah paw-print tattoo. For the second-to-last week, Bryan and Ballas were invited back to the show to perform, another first for any couple.
For the 100th show, their Paso Doble was chosen as number 9 on the top 10 dances of the first five seasons. According to Tonioli, their elimination was the biggest shock of season 5 and this dance was a glimpse of what they could have accomplished.. Bryan and Ballas were the only couple in the top 10 that did not make it to the finals.
On their interview at Fox News, they confirmed that indeed, she and Mark Ballas Jr. were planning to go on a date now that they were no longer on the show. On November 4, 2007 in a TV Guide interview, after weeks of speculation by fans and media of a possible offstage romance between her and DWTS partner Mark Ballas, Sabrina confirmed that they were 'hanging out' and has often said she knows she has found a 'life long friend' in Mark Ballas.
She was featured in the Soft Scrub Dancing With The Stars Live Tour. She danced with Derek Hough (while Mark was injured) then with Mark until her last show on January 13, 2008 before leaving for India to film the Cheetah Girls One World. [5]
