Now here's a move that will really impress judges.

Dancing With the Stars champ and General Hospital fixture Kelly Monaco shimmied for safety in her hotel bedroom early Thursday morning after a robber broke into her Las Vegas penthouse.

The 32-year-old actress was asleep at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino when she heard a burglar rummaging in the living room, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. She ducked quietly behind the bed but the intruder never entered the bedroom.

Kelly called police after the thief left, and a man was arrested later that day. There are no details about what was taken.

Monaco is in Sin City starring in Planet Hollywood's burlesque production Peepshow with former DWTS contestant Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown.
