Dancing hurts.

Just ask current Dancing With the Stars contestant Roshon Fegan. But it's not the steps and shuffles that are causing the 20-year-old Disney star pain.

It's his pro hoofer partner Chelsie Hightower!

"I've taken a couple back hands to the face," Fegan recently told us about Hightower. "I got an elbow to the rib, a head-butt to the chest."

"She's like a vortex," he laughed. "She just doesn't care. She spins out of nowhere, dives into me like a football player with no warning. I've kind of gotten used to it. I'm keeping my eye on her now. She's dangerous!"

Fegan says "words can't really describe" how tired he is from rehearsing six hours a day. Despite the rigorous practice schedule, he and Hightower ended up in the bottom two on this week's show.

"It was pretty hard," he admitted. "It was pretty jacked up. It's not a feeling that you ever want to be in because being in the bottom two feels like you let your people down."

But luckily Fegan was saved when singer Gladys Knight was voted off. "That was a bad feeling," he said. "She was like my mom on set...we loved her."

Fegan added, "With that, it makes you want to try harder and be on top."
