Dancing With The Stars professional dancer Julianne Hough has said she wants to make a return to the show.
Julianne, 21, already won two seasons of the hit dancing show but is not competing in the ninth season as she wanted to concentrate on her music career.
She will soon be performing classic tracks from The Wizard of Oz with Jennifer Hudson at the Rumsey Playfield in Central Park.
Talking backstage at rehearsals, she said to FOX411 she would like to make a return to Dancing With The Stars to dance again.
She said: “I want to come back and dance on the show! My brother, Derek, and Mark Ballas are going to sing with their Ballas Hough Band and I want to come back and dance while they rock out.
“I’m working on hooking that up. When I performed my single on DWTS, they danced for me. Now it’s my turn!”
Julianne said that it’s hard to sit on the sidelines during the latest season, she said: “I am competitive and I do miss DWTS. It’s nice to relax a little and watch everyone else.
“I don’t have to stress out every five seconds to see if my partner’s doing okay! That’s very nice for the time being!”

Dancing With The Stars contestant Kelly Osbourne has said that the show is “more than just a dance competition” for her and is a “real journey”.
The reality TV star, 24, recently made her debut on the hit US show and wowed audiences with her waltz, even reducing her own mum, former X Factor judge Sharon, to tears.
She said: “In many ways, I feel like this is more than just a dance competition. It feels like a real journey for me.
“It was the same last year, when I sat down to write my book, Fierce, and realised how much stuff I’d kept inside – I guess I’d never shared the real me with anyone.”

Dancing With The Stars contestant Debi Mazar said she was moved to tears by the show’s tribute to Patrick Swayze.
The show’s professional dancers paid homage to the Dirty Dancing actor, who recently passed away after losing his battle with pancreatic cancer, by performing the movie’s finale dance.
A medley was also included in the tribute with songs such as She’s Like The Wind from the 1987 hit film. Debi said: “I really cried backstage watching it.”
She added: “I’m so glad they did this. Patrick Swayze was such a strong, wonderful man and to see him have cancer and fight til the end is a real testament to human strength and the human spirit.
“I know he’s dancing with Michael [Jackson] in heaven watching this. I know Jen Grey and watching Cheryl Burke dance from behind, she really looked like Jennifer Grey. I just started getting teary.”
