We’ve all been waiting to see Karina Smirnoff  grace the cover of Playboy — and here it is!

Ralph Maccio‘s partner on Dancing With The Stars says, “As a dancer I’ve always embraced my body. I’m thrilled to show off my strong, toned physique in the pages of Playboy and celebrate my sexiness. To me, sexy is the confident energy a person produces. Sexy is the comfortable feeling of being who you are. Sexy is not just having beautiful lips, legs and arms; it’s beyond that. Sexy is soul.”
