DelGrosso is one of eight children and she has five sisters who are also dancers. She performed with those sisters, Averie, Afton, Autumn, Amber and Abrea, as a troupe in a third season results show the week after DelGrosso and partner Harry Hamlin were eliminated. Afton competed on the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars in a pro dancer competition to win a spot as a professional in the show's ninth season, but did not make past the third week of competition (four weeks in total).

With Jonathan Gulledge, amateur dance partner, DelGrosso has won several Amateur Ten Dance titles.

  • In 2006, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody did a special dancing episode where she guest starred as Lori. In it, the Tipton is having a ballroom dancing competition. The winner gets $1,000. Esteban is in this to win the money to pay for his sister's quinceanera. If he does not win, his sister won't be a woman until she is 20. So Esteban gets Zack, Cody, Carey, Moseby, London, Lance, Jessica, Janice, a black woman (Alaina Reed), and an old man (Rip Taylor), who needs exercise who is brought in by Nurse Shannon (Cheryl Burke). Lori (Esteban's partner) quits on Esteban because she thinks the team is bad and goes with Alexander the Great (Louis van Amstel). Esteban needs a dance partner and chooses Carey. On the day of the dance competition, Carey gets sick and can't dance. Janice and Jessica quit on Cody and Zack because Zack was being mean to them. So Zack and Cody become a pair. Now Esteban needs a partner. Nurse Shannon volunteers to dance, saying that she has been watching Esteban and Carey dancing and thinks she knows the steps. But before they dance, London stops them and tells Shannon she shouldn't be wearing her nurse outfit. London shreds pieces of Shannon's nurse outfit and it becomes a white, sparkly belly dancing dress. Then Shannon and Esteban dance, and in the end they win the $1,000. Ashley Tisdale does not appear as Maddie in this.
