"Chelsie Hightower Celebrity Partner: Louie Vito Style: Latin and Ballroom Nationality: American Did You Know? Performed with singer Jewel in concert BACKGROUND: We're all pretty impressed that Chelsie has accomplished so much at such a young age. Do you realize that ever since she began competing at a high-level in ballroom, Chelsie has been in the finals and ranked as one of the top three couples in the country?! Not bad. Not bad at all. In 2006, Chelsie was a finalist on TV's So You Think You Can Dance where one judge said, "You move so well, you could make a mannequin look good." That's good news for some of the guys around here who look quite wooden whenever they try to bust a move. Chelsie has been helping other learn to dance since she was 15. She moved to North Carolina to teach and would fly to New York on weekends for lessons. She has been teaching at Center Stage in Utah where she's helped many students win national titles. She also teaches abroad. As busy as you are, Chelsie, we're so glad you found some time to do a little Dancing With The Stars!" - Rachel Lea Fox from Bookmarklet

This is her second or third season on DWTS. She's not all that annoying anymore, IMO. But she's not my favorite pro dancer. - Jason Huebel

Oh I don't know, I only saw one episode with here and she was throwing herself on her partner and giggling and acting all cute and flirty and fake and I found that very annoying. - Rachel Lea Fox

Well, she's the youngest pro on the show, so I give her some slack in that regard. She's a kid, really. - Jason Huebel

Jason, I think that is the problem. She is too young. She doesn't have the maturity to be on tv in a show not for teenagers. - Rachel Lea Fox
