The Beautiful Babes of Dancing With The Stars

 Let's take a look at all the talented, pretty and sexy women who have appeared as professionals on the hit American TV series Dancing With The Stars.

You had to look quickly to catch Anna Hale on Dancing With The Stars. She was cast in Season 2 and she and her partner were the first to be eliminated. I don't blame this elegant young lady from Utah for the early departure. She had the misfortune to be paired with some ESPN dork. But Anna is a lovely and accomplished dancer and perhaps she will be back on the show some day.

Inna Brayer was another short-timer. In Season 7, she was paired with actor Ted McGinley, a guy with a reputation for joining succesful shows only to have them go down the tubes (Happy Days, Love Boat, Married With Children). He didn't sink Dancing With The Stars but he did sink Inna. They were eliminated in the first week and she hasn't been on since.

This gorgeous Dane can be credited for helping establish DWTS as a successful series in the US. Partnered with Mr. Peterman, er, John O'Hurley in Season 1, the pair made it all the way to the finals and finished in 2nd place. Many believed they should have won, and in a later non-official "dance-off" they were victorious! If DWTS ever starts to slip, they can invite Charlotte Jorgensen on to boost the ratings.

Ashly DelGrosso danced on the first 3 seasons of DWTS with little success before taking a break to be with her young children. She returned in Season 10 as Ashly Costa and had the honor of dancing with hero astronaut Buzz Aldrin. However, being paired with an octogenarian is not the best way to go deep into the competition. Hopefully next time we'll get to see her with someone who'll allow her to really shake her thang.

Lacey Schwimmer danced on Seasons 7, 8 and 9 and was always fun to watch. Like many of the pros, she comes from a family of dancers. Her father is an award winning Swing dancer and she, her brother and a cousin were successful on the show So You Think You Can Dance. She also has a distant cousin named David who starred on a little show called Friends. Don't know if he can dance, though.

Elena Grinenko graced the DWTS dance floor for only Seasons 3 and 4, finishing 11th and 8th, which is too little time for this smokin' hot Russian beauty. She has professional ties with a couple of the other pros on the show so hopefully she'll be back.

Throughout Season 8 of Dancing With The Stars, a competition was held to find a new professional dancer for the following season. Anna Demidova came out on top, but in addition to her hot dancing, she could probably win a competition for "most beautiful pro dancer ever on DWTS".

Cheryl Burke is one of the most familiar faces on Dancing With The Stars. She has been on every season but the first. She has a third place finish and a runner-up. She and her partners won the whole thing her first two seasons on the show. She is obviously a very good instructor, probably because her partners can't take their eyes off of her.

You won't need to take a stiff shot of vodka before looking at Karina Smirnoff. It's clear that her beauty goes down smooth. She has 7 seasons of DWTS and one runner-up finish under her belt. And this Ukraine-born babe's moves on the dance floor are simply intoxicating. OK, enough with the Smirnoff Vodka puns!

Austalian Kym Johnson is a dynamite blonde bombshell who has participated in 7 seasons on DWTS. And that's just in the USA. This wonder from down under has not only won it all on the American version but also on the Aussie version. Crikey!

Edyta Sliwinska is certainly one of the hottest dancers on the show. She's also the only professional to appear on all ten seasons of the American series. Despite a third place and a runner-up finish, she's had mostly bad luck with the results. This exciting girl from Warsaw deserves to be paired with a genuine contender, but even when she's dancing with a real klutz, she always looks incredible.

Anna Trebunskaya can be cute one minute and dangerously sexy the next. Unpredictable, you never know when she'll show up to heat up the dance floor, as she has skipped from Seasons 2 to 5 and 6, to 9 and 10. And though she hasn't won yet, I have a feeling that will change soon for this immensely talented dancer.

Talk about cute. So You Think You Can Dance alumna Chelsie Hightower fits the description perfectly, especially when dancing with the appealing, handsome but not-so-sure-footed partners with whom she has been paired. But don't let her blonde locks, sunshine smile and bubbly personality fool you. Chelsie can really show her fiesty side when it's time to whip her students into shape and get them to perform above their skill level.

Dancing With The Stars not only casts celebrities but it also creates them. Julianne Hough, at age 18, became the youngest professional to win on the show. The pretty blonde from Utah became an instant crowd favorite. She followed up with another win later the same year. She left the show in 2009 to put out a hit country music album and she's slated to co-star in the remake of the movie Footloose. And the good news for DWTS fans is until that happens, Julianne is expected to return to the show!
