Lou, who was training Michael Jackson for his comeback concerts until the singer died on June 25, had previously tried out for the show in 2007.

Lou tells Life & Style that while he hasn't yet signed the contract, he can't wait to start training for the show.

"I had a good meeting with the producers for Dancing With the Stars, it was really positive, and they loved the idea of having me on the show," Lou says.

Though Lou is known for being a great athlete, dancing isn't exactly his forte.

"I've never done that type of dancing before, so I know that I'll have to train hard," he says. "I'm a glutton for punishment, so I'll give it my best shot."
