Despite reports, two-time *Dancing with the Stars* champion Julianne Hough will hit the stage again in 2010.  
  
The 20-year-old pro dancer told *People* magazine, "I am appreciative to be taking this coming season of *Dancing with the Stars* off to focus on my other career paths like touring in support of my album and recording my next one. I look forward to returning to *DWTS* in early 2010."  
  
Hough danced with her country singer boyfriend Chuck Wicks this season. When the two were ousted, she told *Access Hollywood* that she was taking a break from the show to pursue her music career. Hough may not be back for season 9, but she will return to the show next year. She is currently on tour promoting her music.
