One look at Dancing with the Stars professional Oksana Dmytrenko's stomach and you'll understand why she's part of the pro troupe.

The 24-year-old Ukrainian beauty arrived at rehearsals on Friday with her black T-shirt pulled up to display her washboard abs, well you would, wouldn't you?

Oksana also wore bright pink sweatpants and black tennis shoes, perfectly matching the color scheme on her tee.

After getting out of her car, Oksana posed with hunky Russian dancer Gleb Savchencko, one of the newest professional dancers on the show.

The pair is slated to do a group number together for the upcoming Latin week episode.

Other dancers appeared keen on showing off their hot bodies enroute to rehearsals on this sunny and pleasant Los Angeles Friday.

Dancer Val Chmerkovskiy showed up in a black muscle shirt and blue jeans, showing off his muscular arms and flat stomach.

He wore a beaded white bracelet on one wrist and a watch on the other.

Actor Ingo Rademacher seemed to be in a good mood and ready to rumba upon his arrival.

His dancing partner Kym Johnson did as well, rocking form fitting leather pants and a denim vest.

Meanwhile, two-time champ Mark Ballas came to rehearsals determined to get out the vote in a less than subtle fashion.

With iced coffee in-hand, Ballas showed off a custom T-shirt that simply read 'Vote for Aly & Mark,' referring to dancing partner Aly Raisman, the U.S. Olympic gymnast.

Ballas also wore a gray fedora that seemed slight small for his head, a dog tag and blue Adidas track pants.

Other contestants on this season's show arrived for rehearsals doing what comes naturally to them.

Sixteen-year-old teen star Zendaya showed up rocking a Bob Marley shirt and mugging for photographers.

The limber youngster continued her campaign of cuteness and is considered by some judges to currently be the favorite to win this season with partner Chmerkovskiy.

Upon his arrival at rehearsals, funnyman Andy Dick did his best Zendaya impression.

She's already known for sexy, flesh-baring costumes on ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

And Australian dancer Kym Johnson stripped down naked for PETA's latest campaign fighting animal testing.

The 36-year-old hoofer cuddled a bunny and flaunted her athletic physique in two different pin-up poses on print ads, shot by photographer Robert Sebree, released Friday.

I'd rather go naked: Dancing with the Stars' Kym Johnson stripped down naked and cuddled a bunny for PETA's latest campaign fighting animal testing

'Be a Bunny's Belle of the Ballroom: Choose Cruelty-Free,' the pink-hued advert read.

'Thousands of mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other animals are poisoned, burned and killed in cruel product tests each year.'

In the text, the three-time trophy winner urged shoppers to buy cosmetics and household products only from companies that never test on animals.

Kym said she was initially inspired by rocker Dave Navarro's PETA campaign in which he donned fake blood to emulate a wounded lab animal.

'I was so disturbed by what I saw. I didn't realize that animal testing was still being done, and it really shocked me,' the blonde bombshell said in a statement on PETA's website.

'It really made me think, "What am I putting on my face?" If showing a bit of skin creates some awareness...then it's definitely well worth it.'

Other celebs to pose in the buff for the provocative animal rights organisation include Alicia Silverstone, Christy Turlington, and Khloe Kardashian.

Terrific team: Last episode, the pair's Cha-Cha-Cha set to Lady Marmalade earned them a score of 21 out of 30

And Kym isn't the only Dancing with the Stars alumni to drop trou for the sake of animals.

Pamela Anderson, Karina Smirnoff, Elisabetta Canalis, Joanna Krupa, Kelly Osbourne, Wendy Williams, and judge Carrie Ann Inaba have all joined the fight while baring flesh.

Ironically, PETA's scantily clad ads have spurned criticism from feminists organisations in the past.

The accompanying one-minute video showcases both Kym's tanned and toned flesh as well as graphic images of wounded lab rabbits.

'Living their lives in cages, being injected in their eyes, and being blinded—it's terrifying the footage that you see, and no animal should have to suffer that way for our vanity,' said the animal activist.

Last episode, the pair's Cha-Cha-Cha set to Lady Marmalade earned them a score of 21 out of 30.

The soap star will turn 42 as he takes the stage on Monday night's upcoming episode.

Johnson came in first on the televised competition with season nine's Donny Osmond, season 12's Hines Ward, and Australia DWTS's Tom Williams in 2005.

Some of her past celebrity partners have included talk show host Jerry Springer, boybander Joey Fatone, magician Penn Jillette, Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, and Scream star David Arquette.
