Paige VanZant Opens Up About Dancing With Injured Mark Ballas on DWTS

Paige VanZant playfully jumps on Mark Ballas‘ back in this shot from Dancing With The Stars on Monday night (April 4).

Team PowInTheKisser performed an MMA inspired Paso Doble, earning 23 points for their performance.

“He did most of the teaching from a chair. It wasn’t until Saturday that he really stepped in to do the dance with me,” Paige shared in her blog after the show about Mark‘s teaching during the past week.

She continued, “Until Saturday, I was doing it with Alan (Bersten) most of the time, and then Mark would step in when he could. It was up to Sunday and Monday for us to get it down together. It was definitely a little scary going into it, only rehearsing with Mark for not very long. But he did a good job with all of it, and hopefully he’ll be better and can dance full time (in practice) this week.”

Paige added, “I think Mark‘s still undecided exactly what he’s doing (with rehearsals with the injury), so I feel a little in the dark with a lot of it. But whatever happens, I’ll be comfortable with whoever I’m dancing with, or whoever I’m learning the dance with. It’ll be OK.

Paige is also pictured out with a friend after practice with Mark on Tuesday afternoon (April 5).
