I loved their mambo this week, looks like they are the ones to beat at the moment.

While I was watching that couple I was thinking what a big difference it must make to the pro dancers if they can get a celeb who has real aptitude (as Mark also did with Sabrina).
They can really attempt some challenging choreography, both for their partner and themseleves, almost as though they had a pro dancer to dance with. It must make the whole thing much more exciting and rewarding, for everyone. |

I love watching Mark dance - we used to see him at a practice night when he was still very young and his mum - Shirley - used to sit and watch him. BUT - last night I found he was really irritating me because he kept pulling the most awful faces! I know ballroom isn't his thing compared to the Latin, but stretching his mouth open on the first beat of almost every bar of the music, is not the way to try and convey emotion, and ended up making him appear faintly ridiculous!

I wasn't a particular Mark fan before but this season is turning me into one
I hope he makes it all the way to the final this time.

kaycee - Couldn't agree more. Thought he looked just like a fish!!! Not attractive at all.
Beautiful dancer though............. |

I'm a big fan of Mark's, too! I think he's a brilliant dancer, choreographer and person! So lovely and sweet and packed full of talent!
I was thrilled that Kristi and Mark won this season's DWTS!

He's lost his English accent though.. he now has this squeaky transatlantic drawl which I find rather annoying.

As great as it is to see Julianne and Mark be so successful in DWTS, I still think it is such a shame they retired from competitive dancing so young. They had so much potential and their Blackpool win could have just been the start of a very successful career...
Each to their own though!!

He's on Twitter. You could send him a message through there?
Some videos: For the final stop on the tour, Mark took off his shirt in this Jive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDaFtPGotxY All the guys took their shirts off for this Chippendale's spoof of what was supposed to be the girls dancing with Lance Bass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lewr_tVaUJ8 The last stop of the DWTS tour always has some surprises: The girls purposely didn't come out for the Cha Cha when they were supposed to, leaving the guys to their own devices. Mark and Derek decided to dance together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk9RpD7XM0A They continued the joke when they were voted by viewers Favorite Pros in the Macy's Stars of Dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7gHx1RC4CI |

Just read here that Shelly Ballas is choreographing the group mambo dance on the first SCD show. I'm guessing that they mean Shirley Ballas, so does she use the name Shelly sometimes and could this mean we might see Mark on SCD one day?

![]() Never heard that her called that before but who knows?? ![]() ![]() This is from strictly twitter site posted on Thursday Week 1 - the 8 non-competing celebs will dance a MAMBO, choreographed by legend Shirley Ballas. Rehearsals taking place RIGHT NOW! #scd The article seems to take a lot of info from the twitter page including that it confirms ITT *should* be back on the Monday after the first proper show - so Monday 21st Sep. #scd Oh and From Kayta twitter One of my top #SCD moments so far: loved working with Shirley Ballas. What a legend |

![]() Shirley was an amazing dancer in her time, possibly one of the best ladies on the floor at any given time. |

The Ballas family is quite large and varied, but think it a pretty safe bet that this is a misprint! Never heard Shirley called Shelly.

It has got to be a mistake as you say kaycee - only one person can be Mark's Mum and I hope her involvement with SCD leads to other things!
![]() There was a rumour at one time that she would be a pro on dwts which would have been really funny - can you imagine, Mum, Dad (Corky) and son Mark all competing against each other - to say nothing of Julianne, who was still in the show, & Derek, who were both 'fostered' by Shirley & Corky when they lived in the UK. Talk about keeping it in the family! Thankfully, it didn't happen! Shirley has been involved with dwts though, as she has helped Mark, Derek & Julianne with choreography. |
