'Dancing with the Stars'' Melissa Joan Hart: I want to Dance with Maksim

Actress Melissa Joan Hart and partner Mark Ballas are still in the running for the "Dancing with the Stars" mirror ball trophy, but Melissa tells ET she's up to the challenge of dancing with bad boy Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

"I want to see if he's as tough as everyone thinks he is," the actress says of the "Dancing" pro. Maksim, who was already sent home this season with his partner Debi Mazar, may be helping a sick Derek Hough coach his partner Joanna Krupa for the next round of the competition.

"We all would like to win but we all want to do our personal best," Melissa said of those competing.
