Two pics of Mark from the BWAT show in Hershey, courtesy of @livelove4evr! Thanks!
Mark has fans of all ages! :D (oh, and Kristi snuck in there too.) The last pic is Mark and the other gentleman is David Hernandez (he did some music in the show). :)

Mark Ballas at Ballroom with a Twist, 7/17/10
In Hershey, PA at the Hershey Theatre on July 17, 2010 at 8:00 PM. No filming was allowed, so no videos. :(
More bus troubles...the bus driver apparently got lost driving from NY to Hershey, PA and they were late getting to Hershey. :(
Jonathan Roberts posted a pic of the venue...really beautiful theater:
Sabrina posted a pic of Mark and Kristi Yamaguchi practicing the Mambo:
Video of some rehearsal from @trenyce: http://yfrog.com/jqmxfz I can't embed :(
(note: DO NOT get all in a tizzy about Mark getting frustrated at the end. He's an artist, Sabrina is an artist. They work hard at what they do. When you are rehearsing, especially a dress rehearsal, you WILL get frustrated when you mess up and have to start over. It's called passion. It's called nerves. It's called "Dang-it-I-have-done-this-right-a-billion-times-so-why-not-right-now?!" Mark was not disrespecting or hurting Sabrina.)
Anna posted a pic of Sabrina and Kristi during rehearsals...get down, ladies! hehehe:
Anna posted this pic of Mark & Kristi performing the Jive:
And finally, Anna also posted this pic of Sabrina and Mark performing the Cha Cha:
After the show (really? that late?) they went to the Hershey factory (is there a restaurant there? Maybe that's where they had supper...it would explain the late hour). Mark shared this photo:
Well, at least we know that aliens won't be able to read Marky's mind! ;) hehehe
And finally, Mark, Jonathan, and Anna flew back to LA...just in time for Marky to get a tiny amount of sleep (hopefully) before his show at House of Blues! :)

Mark Ballas at Ballroom with a Twist, 7/16/10
BWAT at Chautauqua, New York. :) Friday, July 16, 2010 at Chautauqua Institution.
Here is a write-up about the show from GoErie.com: "Ballroom With a Twist twists and shouts into Chautauqua"
Mark & Kristi Mambo (uploaded by gymfan66)
Mark & Kristi Jive (uploaded by gymfan66)
Sabrina, Jonathan, and Kristi are teasing Mark. (uploaded by gymfan66)
according to gymfan66 - "right before I started recording Johnathan asked Sabrina to demonstrate how Mark acted during reahersal when he gets frustarated haha"
Mark and Sabrina Cha Cha (uploaded by gymfan66)
Mark flew to NY state on Thursday afternoon (and didn't sleep well that night. Poor guy.) Rehearsals on Friday and the show Friday night. :) Apparently, on the way to the NY show (the 2nd stop on the tour), the tour bus broke down (that was carrying the company dancers). Then, after Friday's show, the 2nd tour bus didn't show up, so the entire cast (25 dancers) had to fit on one bus to drive to PA. Jonathan posted this pic of the crowded bus:
Poor Mark looks so tired! Curled up with his luggage, dozing while sitting up on a loud, crowded bus. ick. :(
One of the company dancers, italoelgueta, tweeted that he was moving from the "party bus" to the "sleeping bus" at about 3am-ish local time (eastern). Well, at least the 2nd bus finally showed up. o.O
After the show, Anna posted a bunch of pics from the show and backstage. Three of the pics included Marky:
Kristi and Mark dancing the Jive:
Sabrina, Mark, Jonathan, and Kristi talking to the crowd:
Mark and Jonathan hamming it up backstage:

Ballroom with a Twist Tour Schedule
According to Broadway World Philadelphia, this is the tour schedule for Ballroom with a Twist:
July 14: 2010 Clayton Opera House, Clayton, NY
July 16: Chautauqua Institution, Chautauqua NY 8:15pm
July 17: Hershey Theatre, Hershey PA 8pm
July 23: River Rock Casino, Richmond BC 8pm
Aug 12: Casino Nova Scotia 8pm
August 14: Motor City Casino 8pm
October 1 & 2: Calgary, AB - Southern Jubilee Auditorium
October 12: Calgary, AB - Southern Jubilee Auditorium
October 13: Edmonton, AB - Northern Jubilee Auditorium

October 15: Regina, SK Evraz Place
October 17: Winnipeg, MB Centennial Concert Hall
October 18: Hamilton, ON - Copps Coliseum - www.hecfi.ca
October 19: Toronto, ON - Sony Centre for the Performing Arts
There is no mention that the dancers will rotate, so I'm not sure if Mark will be at all the performances or not. Too bad they are all on the east coast. Us poor mid-westerners get left out of everything! Everyone wants to go to the west coast or the east coast. *sigh* I'd love to go to one of the shows, but I don't have the money for the airfare. Hope some of you can go! :)
Another write-up from TheaterMania lists Mark as a featured dancer, so perhaps he will do all 14 shows. Though...DWTS season 11 might get in the way for a few of those shows.
