2011, What a Year!

2011 was a very busy and exciting year for Karina. It is no wonder she was the most "googled" Dancing with the Stars professional in 2011. There are certainly many reasons why she was the most-searched on Google.

She had two very successful seasons on Dancing with the Stars this year with partners Ralph Macchio and J.R. Martinez, culminating in her being crowned Season 13 Champion.

She released two new designs from her KS Collection of Bearpaw Boots: the Alyeska and the Capulet.

She continued her work for many deserving charities and appeared in numerous magazine articles and television interviews.

Also in 2011, she released the first of her Shape Up workout videos and her very own line of cosmetics from Girlactik Beauty.

And still somehow she had time to open her own dance studio Karina Smirnoff Dance in Woodland Hills, CA.

And yes, there was her popular Playboy cover and photo spread!

Is there any way to squeeze anything else in this year? Of course there is! She will be ringing in the new year at Bowlmor Times Square in New York City."
