Dancing With the Stars' Julianne Hough says she may be hanging up her dancing shoes for good.

"I won't be on Dancing this spring season. I don't know about the fall. Maybe, maybe not. We'll see," she says on her blog. "I'm definitely going to focus on the music. My first album was a learning experience, and I can't wait for the next one. I feel like the writing and producing will be even better, really awesome."

She thanked fans who have listened to her album and "said such nice things about my songs, and waited patiently for last night's performances of 'My Hallelujah Song.'

"I was excited it finally ran," she added. "As I wrote a few weeks ago when that was taped, I've sung in front of thousands of people, but I don't think I've ever been as nervous as when I performed on the show in front of my peers and the producers.

She added, "It was fun but definitely nerve-wracking."

Just because she is focusing on music doesn't mean she isn't thinking about next week's DWTS finale.

She said she predicts Brooke Burke and her professional partner, Hough's brother Derek, will be the champs.

"I hope Brooke and Derek win. I think they deserve to win," she said. "From day one, they've been awesome. I think Brooke is the most technically sound of the celebrities and she's a beautiful dancer."

After Wednesday's show, Hough said she "stayed up with Derek late last night; we were hanging out after the show, and he asked if I wanted to help him out with some lifts he was practicing for Brooke.

"I said, 'Absolutely, anything I can do to help you win. I'm totally rooting for you.'"
