JULIANNE HOUGH BIKINI YACHT PARTY [ PHOTOS ]

Julianne Alexandra Hough was raised in Salt Lake City, the youngest of 5 children. She is the daughter of Mari Anne (Heaton) and Bruce Robert Hough, twice chairman of the Utah Republican Party.

Her parents met in college when both were part of a ballroom dancing team. Her parents divorced, and she has 9 stepsiblings from their second marriages.

Julianne quickly landed her first job as a dancer on ABC game show Show Me the Money (2006). She then went on tour as a company dancer with "Dancing with the Stars" and joined the cast of Dancing with the Stars (2005) in season 4.

Julianne is also known as a country singer. She released her debut album in 2008, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Country Album chart and at #3 on the Billboard 200. Her first acting role was in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) at age 13. She has appeared in her first lead role in the remake of Footloose (2011). Julianne is also actively involved in charities and humanitarian efforts--including Susan G. Komen Foundation, Clothes Off Our Back, and St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital--and serves on the American Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet.

I'm sure it's nothing but a party for Julianne Hough now that she no longer has to spend her time dancing with awkward D-list celebs for any more seasons of Dancing With The Stars. Unfortunately the rest of us with moms devoted to that show will still have to hear all about it's ridiculous goings on repeatedly when the new season starts. I'd very much prefer to be on a boat with Julianne and company, watching them loosen up with some booze and spread clips of each other puking overboard across social media. What else are you gonna do on a boat in the ocean? Watch the sunsets? I'm just gonna fall asleep. Go swimming? Are you kidding? Didn't you hear about all those starving sharks coming to shore, looking to lunch on some fresh human? No thank you. Nah, I'd much rather wait for Julianne to put on some beer goggles and go in search of a companion for some fun below decks fun. Sounds like the perfect way to spend one's time on a yacht.
