πΊ Stepping into the spotlight in 2007, Mark Ballas dazzled the “Dancing With the Stars” audience with his rhythm and fancy footwork for 20 seasons. Now, Ballas is all set to waltz into the role of fatherhood. On June 26, 2023, after a social media silence since March 8, Ballas graced his Instagram reel with an update β an exciting medley of music, beach trips, car rides, Bobba tea, and… a baby announcement! π΄ππ΅πΆ
Ballas’ Instagram comeback was received with a flood of congratulatory messages, many from his dance family. Fellow dancer Emma Slater expressed her excitement, while Val Chmerkovskiy, another DWTS champ and recent father, showed his camaraderie with a loving message. ππ Peta Murgatroyd and Daniella Karagach, newly minted moms from the DWTS community, couldn’t hold back their joy either!

With all these dance pros becoming parents, one might wonder, is there a baby ballroom boom on the horizon? ππ And if so, will these tiny tots carry the legacy of their parents’ dancing genes? Only time will tell! β°πΆπΊπ

Ballas signed off his dance career with gratitude, thanking his fans for a “lifetime of memories”. And what a ride it has been!
