America's Next Top Model winner Nyle DiMarco is gearing up for his big debut on Dancing With the Stars next week, where he'll perform and stamp his place in history as the show's first male deaf contestant.

The mega-babe has been in and out of the dance studio these last few weeks in preparation for the big day, and posting a few teaser shots to Instagram with his pro dance partner, Peta Murgatroyd:

He's also been looking just as great (if not better) on his way in and out of the studio. Thank goddess for the paparazzi:

Nyle will mark his historic DWTS season by vlogging about his experiences for People.

In his inaugural vlog posted this morning, Nyle said he thinks his deafness may actually be an asset in the competition.

"We've been rehearsing quite a lot. It's been amazing and full of [surprises]," he said. "I'm surprising myself that I actually can dance. Peta, my partner, was also surprised that I can dance."

"Rehearsal this week has been good, but one time we actually tried to make the music as loud as possible to let me hear the music and I felt the vibrations but when we started dancing, it felt off. I realized something new about myself. Even though I'm a deaf, I think that I should always stay that way [when I don't hear the music,] I dance well!"

Another thing that may come in handy on the ballroom stage are those powerful, delicious thighs. He posted a shot of his bottom half on Twitter last night, as if you needed another reason to tune in:
