Val Chmerkovskiy sets his sights on less sexiness on ‘Dancing with the Stars’

Dancing with the Stars” is heading back for another exciting season. Pro dancer Val Chmerkovskiy is partnered up with Disney Channel’s Zendaya Coleman and they have already started practicing for their first time on the ballroom floor. Val posted his first blog on The Clicker on March 7 as he wrote on what changes might be in store for this upcoming season.

The last time we saw the sexy hunk on the ballroom floor, he was making chemistry with Kelly Monaco. The duo performed some of the hottest dances in the show’s history. This time will be a bit different since he is paired with 16-year-old Zendaya. He has quite the challenge ahead of him.

The couple’s first dance will be contemporary. As you remember, Kelly and Val’s contemporary dance last season was pretty sexy. It was emotional, powerful and even brought the soap actress to tears. Zendaya’s mom decided to watch that one on YouTube to get a better understanding on what a contemporary dance is. She later told Val, “Yeah, it’s uh ... very interesting!” Val joked around that after that dance, half the nation got pregnant! No wonder her mom might have been a bit worried.

As much chemistry as Kelly and Val had on the dance floor, this time the Ukrainian says that he will focus more on inspiration rather than passion. He wants Zendaya to focus on her potential and accomplishments more than looking towards that mirror ball trophy.

Look for Val Chmerkovskiy and Zendaya on the premiere of "Dancing With the Stars" on March 18 at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.

Will you be rooting for this couple?
