Mark Ballas’ time as a dancer and mentor on “Dancing With the Stars” has come to an end.
During the final stop of the Dancing With the Stars tour in Las Vegas, the longtime “DWTS” personality announced that his freestyle with partner Charli D’Amelio would be his last.
“This will be the last time you’ll see me dance in this capacity. I’m coming to a close tonight,” he said at the Palms Casino’s Pearl Concert Theater. “This is going to be my last dance.”
Representatives for Ballas and “Dancing With the Stars” did not comment.
Ballas, 36, made his “Dancing With the Stars” debut in 2007 when he partnered with “The Cheetah Girls” star Sabrina Bryan. The following year, he and Olympic figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi won the Season 6 Mirrorball Trophy. He took home his second Mirrorball Trophy with Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson in 2009.
