“He’s good on his feet… He’s not horrible, he’s got great footwork,” first-time pro Arnold told Access Hollywood about Ortiz.

Ortiz, who says his dance experience amounts to only “three seconds,” says his competitors better look out.

“I want to win it actually. I want to win this thing… my other competitive side of me is now kicking in,” said Ortiz, who looks oh-so-dapper in his tuxedo and bow tie in the official solo image.
