Once a staple pro dance on ABC's white hot reality competition, "Dancing with the Stars" as a top hoofer, Julianne Hough is staying put in Nashville to continue with her promising career as a country music recording artist.

Her rep is shooting down reports that the "Burlesque" star is leaving Nashville for Los Angeles, according to US magazine.

"Julianne is not leaving Nashville, nor is she moving to Los Angeles," her rep tells UsMagazine.com. "She is simply selling her current home, which she felt was too big for just her and her dog, Lexi, and is too far from the city. She's in the process of moving someplace closer to downtown Nashville."

On November 24, moviegoers will be able to watch Julianne Hough's big screen debut in the film "Burlesque." She is part of a star-studded cast that includes Cher, Stanley Tucci, Eric Dane, Kristen Bell and Christina Aguilera among others.

Julianne's brother Derek Hough still dances as a pro on the ratings juggernaut, and is paired with Jennifer Grey this season.
