Trivia
- Anna only received 10s in, coincidentally, Season 10 (not including the 10 from Emmitt Smith in its successor, Season 11).
- Anna has something in common with Cheryl Burke: both last appeared in the finals when they were 29 years old and both also appeared in the Season 2 finale.
- In 2012, she performed the fewest dances of all the pros that participated that year, despite traditional high scores in both seasons.
