Aly Raisman & Mark Ballas: Extra, Extra!

Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas stop by The Grove for an appearance on Extra in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon (April 5).

The Dancing With the Stars pair chatted with host Mario Lopez, who did a few dance holds with Aly, 18.

“A little ballroom dancing with @Aly_Raisman today @TheGroveLA for @extratv ! Good time.. #OlymipicGoldMedalist #DWTS,” Mario tweeted.

Before heading back to the studio for more practice, Aly had a Q&A with the LA Times.

“It actually wasn’t hard to be romantic with Mark!” she shared of their Viennese Waltz. “Even though we’ve only known each other for a short amount of time, we spend so much time together so it feels like I’ve known him forever. Mark is such a great teacher. I never realized that being a good dancer involves being a good actress! I learned that you have to feel the music, the story, and connect with your partner on the dance floor to create a story.”
