Mark Ballas is done with Dancing with the Stars as a competing pro!
The three-time champion announced on Sunday night (March 12) that he is officially retiring from the ballroom competition series.
Mark‘s announcement came on the final night of the DWTS Live Tour in Las Vegas.
Here’s what he said…
“I started this journey when I was 21, 22. Honestly, being able to dance and perform for you fans, you guys are the best fans. Thank you,” he said in a video shared by a fan. “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.”
Mark continued, “I had the best time ever this season, and this freestyle was just a great way to finish it off. This song means the world to me, Charli means the world to me, the D’Amelio family, you guys mean the world to me. Thank you for everything.”
“I’m not saying this is the end, [but] this is the last time I will be dancing with a [celebrity] partner,” the entertainer added. “And I wanted to finish this with Charli, and I appreciate you guys so much. I wanna do this freestyle for you one more time. Thank you for everything, I appreciate it.”
Mark has won the mirror ball a total of three times – first in season six with Kristi Yamaguchi, second with Shawn Johnson in season eight and finally, with Charli D’Amelio in the most recent season 31.
