ABOUT KYM:  Dancing with the Stars fans got their first glimpse of Kym Johnson when paired with Jerry Springer as they reached a 5th place finish in season 3. She finished even higher the very next season at 2nd place with partner Joey Fatone and in season 9 she reached the top spot with Donny Osmond as they took home the Mirror Ball Trophy.  Johnson is the only professional dancer to hold the title of two Mirror Ball Trophies, both in her homeland of Australia and USA.  Her success on the popular reality show is no fluke as Johnson began ballroom dancing at age 13.  Johnson made her Broadway debut in “Burn The Floor” in 2009, a dream come true for her.  Johnson was just named the season 12 winner with partner and Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver Hines Ward.
