Dancing With The Stars Pro Mark Ballas Leaves The Show For Good
Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) fans know that Mark Ballas was trained and focused on professional dancing from a very young age. In fact, he and Derek Hough spent part of their young years learning dance together. After winning Season 31’s Mirror Ball Trophy, the last thing fans expected to hear is that Mark won’t be returning to Season 32 with Disney+. In fact, he’s not coming back at all.
Dancing With The Stars Spoilers – Multi-Talented Mark Ballas Leaves
DWTS fans learned long ago, that music plays almost as big a role in the life of Mark as dancing does. In fact, way back in 2011, someone broke into his car and stole his guitar. Interestingly, these days, his social media seems more devoted to that than his dance performances. However, that’s probably not the reason why he announced that he’s leaving the Disney+ show.
The Dancing With The Stars pro-dancer left the show before. If you can recall, after 12 seasons he’d only won twice. So, he decided to go off and become a choreographer. Probably he was motivated by the success of his involvement with the Pepsi ad during the Superbowl. He returned and in season 31 he took the Mirror Ball Trophy home. So, fans seem surprised that he decided to leave right now.
Dancing With The Stars – Mark Ballas Makes Announcement
People Magazine reported that Mark announced his retirement from DWTS whilst on tour. The outlet explained that the news arrived from him whilst he was in Las Vegas. It was the “final …tour stop at the Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms Casino Resort,” where fans heard Mark talk about his “last dance.”

Dancing With The Stars fans heard that Mark talked about how long he’d been with the show, but once again, it’s time to move on. The outlet cited him as saying, “So, I just wanna finish by saying this will be the last time you see me dance in this capacity. I’m coming to a close tonight. This is gonna be my last dance.”

Turning His Back On Dancing With Celebs
Dancing With The Stars fans loved that Mark Ballas chose Charli D’Amelio to perform with him in his last dance. After all, they deserved the Mirror Ball Trophy last season. It’s not clear if Mark made the decision, or if Disney+ suggested that he moves on. Rumor has it that next season could be trimmed back in regards to casting numbers. Potentially, more familiar faces might make similar announcements in weeks to come.
