Being a professional dancer helps Karina Smirnoff stay in great shape, which is why she has no problems showing off her body for Playboy!

Karina Smirnoff has guys ogling her buff bod every week as she struts her stuff on “Dancing with the Stars,” but her appearance in the May 2011 issue of Playboy marks the first time she’s posed nude. The 33-year-old credits her dance training with her willingness to bare all. “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.” Karina adds that you don’t need a body like hers to be sexy. “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.” We can’t give a score to Karina’s soul, but her body is a 10!
