Inside "DWTS" rehearsal with a surprisingly rhythmic Chris Soules

Chris Soules will become the third "Bachelor" to compete on "Dancing with the Stars" when the show returns on Monday, and ET was there as he rehearsed with pro partner and reigning ballroom champ Witney Carson.

"I was surprised that he actually has rhythm," Carson told ET.

Soules, a farmer from Iowa, has admitted that he's not a natural-born dancer, but if anyone can get him ballroom ready, it's Carson.

"I've got a little something up my sleeve," Soules said.

While they're getting along well, their first rehearsal wasn't ideal for Carson. She had to meet Soules in his small hometown.

"It was freezing cold!" Witney said.

Chris and his new fiancé, Whitney Bischoff, are staying in Los Angeles while Chris competes on "DWTS."

"I feel like if I'm going to actually do okay at this whole dancing thing, I need to focus and be here and really commit to it," Soules said. "So I'm here till they send me home I guess."

"DWTS" airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
