'Jon and Kate Plus 8:' Kate Gosselin gets dance support from Karina Smirnoff

Former "Jon and Kate Plus 8" star Kate Gosselin will be returning to the "Dancing with the Stars" ballroom in a week and a half for the finale, and she's already getting some support from one of the show's popular professionals. In an interview with Us Magazine, Karina Smirnoff had this to say about the reality TV mom:

"If she wants to continue dancing she should continue to dance with her feelings and emotions. She is a very deep woman, and she has a lot of emotional education in her so let that come out in the dance moves."

Karina has experience teaching all sorts of celebrities, even if she wasn't included in the mix for this season of the show. Most recently, she worked with pop star Aaron Carter and was romantically linked for a while to Maksim Chmerkovskiy (who is dancing this season with Erin Andrews).

Do you think Kate Gosselin should go to Karina Smirnoff for dance lessons at some point in the future? Let me know your thoughts with a comment and stay tuned for more "Jon and Kate" news. To view recent photos of Kate, follow the links here and here.
