Karina Smirnoff has gotten to dance with the likes of Mario Lopez and Billy Ray Cyrus on Dancing With the Stars, but there's still one star she dreams of making her partner.

"I have always wanted to meet Keanu Reeves," Smirnoff told Usmagazine.com exclusively at the Paws for Style Fashion Show at M2 UltraLounge in NYC Monday.

The professional dancer -- who most recently competed with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak in DWTS's eighth season before being eliminated in the fourth round -- admits she has had trouble getting the 44-year-old actor on board.

"I've said it for, like, eight seasons, and it doesn't seem that he's gotten the message," she tells Us. "He hasn't responded, so I'm starting to give up."

    Keanu Reeves is always an "A" -list star. That is because he is a classic Hollywood celebrity , and like him or not , he is outstanding in his own way. The thing about that guy is that is is differant from other Hollywood actors. That differance alone at least makes him interesting. And as for only "has-beens" being on DWTS , that is not really so.

    I haven't watched DWTS since their first season, they really haven't gotten anyone on it that impressive or they're people we've never heard of unless we're really into the olympics and indy car racing, etc.

    This show is for has beens who are trying to get off the D list. If an A lister appears on it I will start watching. Till then it's Dancing With The Washed Up D listers. Leave Keanu alone.

    What's the matter, Karina, you're getting tired of Maks? My observation is that you had an affair to almost everyone of your partners. Mr. Reeves does not need any campaigning. Remember, you are engaged now. Be a lady and mind your behavior, would you?

    Even if Keanu wasn't an A-list star, he isn't eligible to do the show. He already knows how to ball room dance and is apparently very good at it. If Karina wants to dance with him, it will have to be in private.
