Rylee Arnold<\/strong> isn\u2019t the first family member \u2014 let alone sibling \u2014 of a Dancing With the Stars<\/em><\/a> pro to enter the ballroom.<\/p>\n

Julianne Hough<\/strong><\/a> was the first dancer to face off against her brother, Derek Hough<\/strong><\/a>, in the competition. After Julianne got her start on the series in season 4 in 2007, she was joined by Derek the following season.<\/p>\n

Much like Derek and Julianne, Maksim Chmerkovskiy<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 who made his DWTS<\/em> debut in season 2 \u2014 was later joined by his younger brother, Val Chmerkovskiy<\/strong><\/a>, as a pro in season 13.<\/p>\n

While siblings seemed like the most likely family match-up for the performers, DWTS<\/em> flipped the switch when they brought in Mark Ballas<\/strong><\/a>\u2018 father, Corky Ballas<\/strong>, to compete against his son in season 7.<\/p>\n
