“Dancing with the Stars” professional partners — CHERYL BURKE, MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY, JULIANNE HOUGH, EDYTA SLIWINSKA and KARINA SMIRNOFF were recently spied on the set of their TV Guide photo shoot — on stands Thursday, Oct. 11th.

“We have known each other since we were babies,” Cheryl says of her fellow dancers. “We have danced our whole lives and, actually, to be able to do something like this has bonded us together.”
