She also had a small supporting role as Mrs. Murray in the 2008 straight-to-dvd film Mostly Ghostly.

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." Her elimination served as a reminder to viewers that they had to vote for the stars and not assume that they'll get by on just talent. 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.

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 [http://www.tvguide.com/news/dancing-bryan-ballas/071104-02 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.

For the 100th show, their Paso Doble was chosen as number 9 on the top 10 dances of the first five seasons. According to one of the show's judges, Bruno 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
