Utah's own Julianne Hough won't be dancing with any stars next year.

Hough, the professional dancer who guided both Apolo Anton Ohno and Helio Castroneves to victory on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," on Thursday announced she's done with the popular show.

"I really, really want to focus on the music and, you know, kind of be taken seriously a little bit," she told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show.

This season was rough on Hough (pictured here on her final appearance Tuesday). She had an emergency appendectomy during the show's run, and this week was eliminated with her celebrity partner, "Hannah Montana" actor Cody Linley. (Her brother, Derek Hough, and model Brooke Burke are one of the three pairs in the finals.)

Hough has released two CDs this year - her debut country album, "That Song in My Head," and a holiday collection, "Songs of the Season" - and she says "music is where I want to be."
