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.
In 2006, Kym arrived to the United States when she was asked to join the US version of DWTS. Her first partner was talk show host Jerry Springer during season three, where she won the hearts of America. Her other partners have included David Hasselhoff 'The Hoff', Joey Fatone, Mark Cuban, Penn Jillette and Warren Sapp. Kym has been runner up twice on the American syndicated DWTS. In November 2009, Kym won the prestigious 'mirror ball' trophy with her celebrity partner, Donny Osmond and followed up the win with another 1st place in 2011 with Pittsburgh Steeler, Hines Ward. Kym has been involved in ten seasons of DWTS USA and is currently partnered with actor/producer, David Arquette.
