Video: Melissa Joan Hart & Louie Vito Say Goodbye to 'Dancing with the Stars'

It was a reluctant departure for former "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" star Melissa Joan Hart and partner Mark Ballas as they were cast off "Dancing with the Stars" on Tuesday night.

The actress told "The Insider" of her departure, , “I don't want to retire my dancing shoes. ... It really was a dream come true.”

The judges made the call as to the second couple to send home in Tuesday night's double elimination. After a dance-off between former NFL football player Michael Irvin and partner Anna Demidova and pro snowboarder Louie Vito and partner Chelsie Hightower, the judges decided to send Louie back to the snow.

He will be too busy training for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver to continue dancing, but he said, “It's always a bummer when it comes to an end."

The remaining dancers are already hard at work on new routines for Monday's "Dancing with the Stars" on ABC.
