Kim Fields may have dropped a bombshell yesterday when she revealed that she was quitting The Real Housewives of Atlanta (click HERE if you missed that), but she’s moving on quite ‘swiftly and professionally‘ (as Justin J would say).

Fields and dance partner Sasha Farber kicked off Monday’s “Dancing With The Stars” premiere with a cha cha to Fleur East’s “Sax” and it seems Kim is not as ‘stiff’ as many would think!

The judges and audience were quite impressed with the first dance of the night.

Prior to the routine, Fields and Farber practiced while the actress discussed her various credits, including “The Facts Of Life” and “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

After their routine, returning judge Len Goodman said, “I liked it,” adding, “I like the timing… it was crisp and sharp.” Goodman added, “That was a great start to the show… Well done.”

Bruno Tonioli told Fields that while she has “a lot of energy, you gotta work on the foot placement.” Still, he “loved it.” And Carrie Ann Inaba said, “I see a whole lot of fierceness in a tiny package.” She warned, however, not to “rush [because] you got ahead of the music.”

As for scoring, Fields and Farber got a total of 20 out of 30 points.

Great Job Kim!
