Kim Kardashian’s most clearly documented television dance appearance came during the seventh season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars in 2008. She was paired with professional dancer Mark Ballas and entered a cast that also included Brooke Burke, Lance Bass, Toni Braxton and Cloris Leachman.
Kardashian and Ballas were eliminated on September 30, making them the third couple to leave the season. Their final competitive routine was a rumba that received 17 points out of 30 from the judges. Contemporary coverage described the result as a surprise because other couples had also struggled in the early rounds.
After the result, Kardashian said the competition had pushed her outside her comfort zone and that completing each dance felt like an achievement. The old archive page circulated a dance clip without enough surviving context; the documented television appearance, partner and result provide the reliable record behind that subject.
