Julianne Hough was selected to host the “Swirl” Dance-Off for the new Gillette Venus Swirl razor held at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in NYC. Julianne was really the natural choice of host for this type of event.

She’s known for her dancing and has incredibly toned dancer legs, and to top it all off, she can bust dance moves while wearing towering stilettos!

At first, it looked like Julianne was just going to use the heels as “sitting shoes” and only wear them while seated in her judge’s chair. But being a professional dancer herself, she couldn’t help but join the dance-off.

Julianne readily showed off her own moves in a black-and-white Camilla and Marc high-low dress and black patent pumps alongside the contestants who were comfortably dressed in leggings, shorts, and sneakers.
