Niecy Nash on 'Dancing with the Stars': 'The Life of the Party'!

Practice, practice, practice! Our own Niecy Nash is working hard on the dance floor with pro partner Louis Van Amstel for her "Dancing with the Stars" debut March 22 on ABC, and she says, "I'm hurting in places I didn't know I had."

The dancing couple is fine-tuning their cha-cha for their first dance, and Niecy jokes, "My feet feel like they're bleeding every day, but the other side of that is I get to get a delicious foot massage from my boo!"

"I think when it comes to this season's cast, you're going to be the life of the party," Louis tells Niecy, adding, "The chemistry is no problem. ... When Niecy came through that door, I thought, 'Oh, I'm in heaven. It's all good.'"
