After seven seasons on Dancing With the Stars, fan favorite Karina Smirnoff is hanging up her dancing shoes---with a celebrity partner that is. An insider confirms to Life & Style that Karina will not be dancing in the competition this upcoming season but will still be involved in the show.

Karina, new spokeswoman for Hydroxycut Advanced, and her star-dancing partners never did make it to a season finale as the last couple standing but she did find love on the set of DWTS. Karina was engaged to her co-star Maks Chmerkovskiy in 2009 but the couple called it quits in September.

ABC plans to announce the celebrity contestants for season 10 and their dancing partners on March 1.

Stay tuned...
