    Fifth Harmony member Normani Kordei is currently on an Asian tour with her fellow bandmates who are getting used to their transition as a quartet. “We’re going to make it work,” she said of the DWTS experience with new partner and returning champion Val. Rehearsals in Tokyo, dances in Los Angeles.

    Heather Morris, who is best known for her role in Glee, has a history when it comes to dancing. The actress was once a back-up dancer for Beyoncé; however, knows she is in for something entirely new. “It’s different, very different, ballroom is. I’m a little iffy.”

    Retired professional wrestler and former A-Team star Mr. T took to Twitter to express his excitement for this new journey in his career.

    Hey Fool! I will be on Dancing With The Stars (DWTS)! I am honored to have two-time champion Kym Johnson as my partner…

    …Between me and you, I really can't dance! But I will do my very best for the children @shrinershosp and @StJude…

    — Mr. T (@MrT) March 1, 2017

    But make no mistake about it Fool! I will train and will practice real hard. Even when I am tired and sore, I'll keep rehearsing! Grrr.!

    Now, if I just happen to win, I will cutoff my Mohawk to stand in solidarity with the children who are fighting cancer! GOD bless them!

    “This is a challenge,” said Nancy Kerrigan, who won Olympic bronze in 1992 and silver two years later. “We step on the ice as skaters and glide. The steps don’t have to be super fast. A dancer would take 10 steps to go the distance we might do in one and make it look like gliding. “It all seems so easy (watching) from my couch.”

    Dancing with the Stars returns Monday, March 20 at 8/7c on ABC.

    Will you be tuning in this season? Let us know, @CelebMix.
