Cheryl Burke is promising that "Dancing with the Stars" viewers will see a different side of her buffed-out partner Chris Jericho this week -- his "sensitive" side. 

ET was with the pair in rehearsals for this week's challenge -- the rumba -- and Chris said so far it's going well, especially since this week's dance is slower than last. Cheryl says they aren’t going for the sexy passionate rumba that people are used to seeing, but are instead promising to make it a lot more "soulful." 

Chris says the story they'll be portraying is "deep and emotional" and he credits Cheryl with putting together a routine that really fits that vibe. The former professional wrestler says his feet are hurting a bit, but he's ready to go, adding that his body has endured a lot worse over the years.

Watch the video to get a sneak peek of the duo's sexy dance moves and to hear what they have to say about judge Carrie Ann Inaba surprise engagement! "Dancing with the Stars" airs Monday and Tuesday nights on ABC.
