In 2011 she was the most Googled professional dancer on the show.
What most people don't know about the Ukrainian beauty is that her skills are not merely physical.

She has taken second at the British Open Blackpool Dance Festival and she is the first woman to also ever make the "British Professional Final" with three different partners. Karina has also been ranked #2 in the world for Latin Dance.
Karina has a passion for environmental causes and her dance studio is the first eco-friendly LEED certified studio of its kind. In addition, Karina has led a celebrity consortium to activate the Wildlife Champions initiative with Procter & Gamble. She is also a PETA spokeswoman for the "I'd rather dance naked than wear fur" billboard and print campaign.
