Eleven celebrities and their professional partners are gearing up for the start of season 12. These couples have spent the better part of three weeks getting the actual dance moves down.
But there's also another concern for many of them, and it's a big part of the competition- the wardrobe.
"That was something I was so excited about," said Chelsea Kane. "The makeup, the hair, costumes, miniskirts. And then I get the season with the playboy bunny and the SI swimsuit model."
"I do like glittery clothes," said Kirstie Alley. "That's where I wish I was really skinny, you know those skimpy outfits. I love them. But I won't be sporting them. Honestly, no."
"I'll wear chicken wings," said Chris Jericho. "No reservations when it comes to that."
Normally when Hines Ward is on the football field he is tough, focused and wearing a uniform that says "don't mess with me." But on "Dancing With The Stars," Hines said he's ready for his sensitive side to come out.
"I am, I actually I am," said Ward. "I know I'm going to get ragged a lot from a lot of guys in the locker room, but I'm in it to win it."
"I tried on my pants today, they were very high-waisted and very tight," said Sugar Ray Leonard. "And I tried on a couple shirts that were exposing a lot of my chest, but it was cool."
"I've been a big fan of chiffon and sequins my whole life," said Mike Catherwood. "Now I am just happy that I have a venue to display that to the masses."
