Trivia About DWTS Professional Dancers

From canada.com:

"...did you know that Aussie-born Kym Johnson performed at Elton John's 50th birthday party, competed in Australia's Celebrity Survivor -- just what it sounds like -- and landed a regular gig on the U.S.'s Dancing with the Stars only after being matched with Jerry Springer during the 2006 season? Did you know that Derek Hough once played the lead in a British road show version of Jesus Christ Superstar, and performed in London's West End in Footloose the Musical?

And did you know that Dancing first-timer Lacey Schwimmer is the 2007 World Swing Dance Champ, and won the U.S. Youth Latin Champ title in '06?

More to the point, did you know that, as a rank amateur and relative unknown, she reached the final four of 2007's So You Think You Can Dance, and is the sister of season-two winner Benji Schwimmer?"
