NEW YORK (AP) — Yes, Ryan Seacrest has a New Year’s resolution for 2013: improve his skill at dancing.

“There’s a Significant Other in my life who’s very good at it,” he notes. That would be professional dancer Julianne Hough, a two-time champ on “Dancing with the Stars” in whose proximity “I feel the pressure to be as good as she is. It sounds like a joke, but this is a serious thing for me to accomplish next year.”
