Kym Johnson

Multi-award-winning dancer Kym Johnson accomplished innumerable professional goals in her native Australia -- including scoring a multi-season run on Aussie version of the Dancing with the Stars program and netting the titles of Australian Ballroom Champion and Australian World Representative of Ballroom Dance. After touring the world in a production of the stage musical Burn the Floor, the producers of the American Dancing with the Stars (on ABC) tapped Kym to join the program as a professional dancing partner to the show's celebrity contestants; her partners included talk-show host Jerry Springer and billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban, as well as pop star Joey Fatone, with whom she came in second place during the third season -- as well as being one of the most popular pairings in the show's history. - Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
