An interesting article:
DWTS’s Kym Johnson to Dance Despite Shoulder Injury
Add another injury to the season 7 Dancing With the Stars roster.
Australian dancer Kym Johnson, who’s currently partnered with former NFL star Warren Sapp, suffered a shoulder injury over the weekend. Johnson has since been examined and, according to a show rep, will be healthy enough to dance on Monday night’s live performance show.
After a less-than-stellar foxtrot last week, Johnson told PEOPLE she and Sapp would be pushing themselves going into this week’s competition. “My strategy for next week is put more hours in and keep enjoying each dance,” Johnson told PEOPLE.
Johnson is the latest in a long line of injuries and illnesses to affect the ballroom this season. First, contestant Jeffrey Ross suffered a corneal abrasion when partner Edyta Sliwinska’s hand grazed his left eye.
Beach volleyball pro Misty May-Treanor ruptured her Achilles tendon and had to drop out of the competition, which was followed by ankle injuries for actresses Susan Lucci and Brooke Burke.
Two weeks ago two-time Dancing champ Julianne Hough underwent an appendectomy when it was learned she has endometriosis

EXCLUSIVE: DWTS' Lance Bass: What You'll See on Tonight's Show
Lance Bass is keeping an exclusive diary only on Usmagazine.com about his experience competing on Dancing With the Stars. Check back each Monday to keep up with Bass' progress, and get behind-the-scenes dish on ABC's hit series.
CHA CHA CHAT
Getting put on a team for last week's cha cha routine was like getting picked for dodgeball in gym class as a kid. It felt really good to be picked first. We had about four hours total to learn that dance when we are used to having a week, but we were having more fun than we were taking it seriously.
I always said I would never take my shirt off on the show, but I’m a team player. Cody [linley] really wanted to show our sexy sides, and of course Tony [Dovolani] will take his shirt off at the drop of a dime. Our shirts were supposed to be completely off at one point, but I vetoed that because it was too cheesy. I just went with it – it was a little embarrassing and I didn’t eat for a week to prepare.
DOUBLE THE DANCING
This week we have the foxtrot and the samba, where I have to do a 20-second solo. Our foxtrot is so cute - very Mary Poppins-like - and the samba is going to be sexy with crazy techniques thrown in. There's one move, called the samba roll, that's so advanced that many people on the show won't even try it, but I feel like I have to to impress the judges.
FINALE FEVER
With two weeks to go until the finale, I'm just looking to get there. Three people get to go, and if I'm one of them, I think I have a really good shot at winning. You get to do a freestyle dance - I'll be doing hip-hop - and I'm just thinking about the two people I have to knock out [along the way]. Hopefully Cody will be gone this week, since he didn't do that well last week, and Maurice [Greene] next.
HIT THE ROAD!
This week I signed on to go on the DWTS tour and it's going to be nice to get back on the road again after six or seven years. The road feels like home to me - I sleep better on my tour bus. It'll be a pretty easy tour compared to our *NSYNC days, because I'll only do three songs and a few group numbers. I really hope I get to do my tango and jive routines again. One thing is for sure, though - I know a lot of YouTube videos will probably come out of this, since everyone on the tour is so fun and we're going to do some crazy stuff!
