"With the tour going on, the fall [season] will be very, very hard to attend, so I can't do that one," Biles told Extra, referring to the Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions, which hits 36 cities.
However, Biles -- who won five Olympic medals in Brazil -- is interested in the opportunity, and in fact, will leave the door open for a future Dancing with the Stars season.
"I'm hoping for the spring one if they would allow me to do that -- that would be awesome," Biles revealed.
Biles isn't a trained dancer, but if she eventually competes on Dancing with the Stars, she has faith in the pro partners.
"You just wait till they teach you, if I get selected," Biles noted.
Once Biles receives some well-deserved time off, she told Extra her plans are simply to "lay around the house and spend time with friends and family."
Biles' name wasn't the only one tossed around in recent days as potential Dancing with the Stars cast members.
There have been reports the following individuals will be on the show: The Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher, Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, Disney star Jake T. Austin, and talk show host and Kanye West's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose.
Nine of the 13 professional dancers who will be starring on the next season of Dancing with the Stars have already been revealed, with Maksim Chmerkovskiy's return being the latest announcement.
The 13 celebrity contestants and remaining four pros will officially be announced August 30 on Good Morning America.
Dancing with the Stars is set to return Monday, September 12 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
