Dancing dynamo Luda Kroitor returns for her fifth season of Dancing With The Stars after winning last series with partner Luke Jacobz.

Of Russian origin, Luda Kroitor came to Australia at the age of 10. Her passion for dance and choreography was clear at 11, when she started training in all styles of Latin American, Ballroom, Brazilian and Salsa. By the time she was 18, Luda already had become the Australian Youth Latin Champion.

Luda's passion for dance was further rewarded at 19 when she achieved her dream of becoming World Salsa Champion through the IDO World Dance Federation. It was the first time that Australia was represented at the World Championships and Luda took out the title with every judge giving her first place. Since then her career boomed, taking her dancing, choreographing and performing all over the world.

Her television credits include the Sydney 2000 Olympic Closing Ceremony, a featured dancing role in New South Wales Tourism's advertising campaign and winning the ABC's Strictly Dancing Championship. Luda is also a regular choreographer on So You Think You Can Dance.

Luda's hard work, determination and dedication drove her to fulfill her ultimate goal as five-time World Salsa Champion. She still holds the title and a place in world dance history.

Currently Luda stars in and is the co-artistic director of the brand-new stage show 'Dance Dance Dance', which regularly plays in casinos, theatres and live venues across Australia.

Besides dance, Luda has a Bachelor of Arts majoring in human resource management and sociology.

Hi Luda, you rock girl, you are without a doubt the best professional dancer on the show and look forward to seeing you in the next series. So sorry that you and Lincoln did not win, you certainly did not deserve to be eliminated and you should have been in the final. Personally I think that the final should have been between you and Lincoln and Jess McNamee and her partner, SDorry I cannot remember his name. My heart went out to you the night that Helen abused you, that was NOT called for but y ...

Luda and Lincoln were unfairly judged. I don't believe that it was lack of votes for Lincoln. Could the Channel please tell us how the votes are allotted. Maybe the judges are biased - if so - please move and let others have a go.

Hey Luda, As always you were absolutely brilliant throughout the whole show and produced an excellent dancer in Lincoln. Well done!!! I personally think all dancers have done very well, however, tonight you and Lincoln danced your buts off and it was very very wrong that you got evicted. I know of 2 dancers that should have been in the bottom 2 and sweety you two were not one of them. All i can say is that i am very disappointed that you were voted off. Keep up the good work :-)

Now that I know that you and Luke are an item, I have been looking back at your dances together from last season on YouTube, as I wasn't very attentive when they first aired. I am trying to work out when you and Luke started dating and falling in love. I love a good romance and your love story has made me very happy. I wish you all the best in everything you do. You've got it all together, girl. I admire you. And Luke, treat her well and she will treat you well.
