Though the crooner is known for his soulful pop hits like “Superstition,” and “For Once In My Life,” he told Valentine that he certainly has some dance moves too.
“Come on… If I have seven children, I’ve got to be able to dance right?” he added.
And like many “Dancing” contenders before him, Stevie said he’d be happy to use the show as a weight loss regimen.
