‘Dancing With The Stars’: best Olympian ballroom dancers

Since the beginning of the now iconic ABC reality show “Dancing With The Stars,” some of the world’s best athletes have taken some time off to partner up and compete in ballroom dancing.

Out of its 34 seasons, “Dancing with the Stars” has brought on 41 Olympians, two of whom were on the show twice after being brought back for season 15, the “All-Star” season. “Dancing With The Stars” is an almost 20 year old show featuring pairs of professional dancers and celebrities, or “stars.” The pairs dance a different type of ballroom dance each week and are rated out of 10 by a panel of three judges who are also professional dancers.
