Mark Ballas at the 2010 National DanceSport Championships, April 9-11, 2010

Back in April (9-11, 2010), the 2010 National DanceSport Championships took place at the JW Marriott in Los Angeles, California. Mark and other DWTS & SYTYCD dancers were present for some of the competition.

I found two photos at the Town Dancer blog that show Mark in the audience. Click on the photos to see a larger version. :)

A little audience participation. :)

Ballas Hough & Lil' Kim "All About the Benjamins"

I've spent the entire evening at work figuring up financial records =S (But, I got a pay increase! Yay!).  I think I need a little Marky, yes? :D I thought this one would be appropriate.... ;)

Mark Ballas music gig June 26th

Mark has a gig coming up next weekend, June 26, 2010. It will take place in Los Angeles at 10pm.

This is a private show, you MUST email stallionsvip@gmail.com to RSVP.

Location: 4701 W. Jefferson Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90016 (corner of Field and Jefferson)

I've added this event to the calendar :)

I believe it is at "Stallions". This is an underground club. From reading about another gig at this address, it starts at 10pm and will go until early morning (like 5am-ish). And it is probably 21+.  You will look for a big red door and must park on Jefferson.

Here is the other event that I'm reading about, so you can compare: (took place last night) - http://events.myspace.com/Event/5182446/Event-Title.  Looks like food and drinks are available.

Looks like this show is part of Stallions "Private Acoustic Evenings". Mark will play at the beginning of the night and then the rest of the night/morning will be DJs. 

If I find any more info about this event, I'll post it here.

Videos from The Mint, May 3rd

Here are a few videos from the May 3, 2010 show at The Mint, posted on YouTube by Musicnotesbysam, who also posted this review of the show.

Done (a new original song by Mark)



Buttons (cover of the Pussycat Dolls song)

Omg, I love this. :D

Sexual Healing, Waiting on the World to Change, Rude Boy Mashup

Never have been fond of this mashup...I mean, it works musically, but lyrically it's...odd. (I'm not counting Rude Boy as part of the mashup - Mark normally only sings the first two together.)  Rude Boy is funny. "giddy up giddy up giddy up now..." I actually like his version more than Rhianna's. Ha!

Guitar Solo

I love Mark's guitar work, but I can't watch...his facial expressions distract me. LOL =P

New Marky videos :) The Grove & The Mint

Some new Mark videos posted on YouTube (thanks for posting them!)

At the Grove for Make a Wish: Rude Boy (Rhianna cover)


Guitar solo at the Grove (interesting facial expressions....)

Old BHB videos :)

A couple of videos posted to YouTube today. Thanks to Taylor9888 for uploading them! They are old BHB videos.

Mark playing electric guitar :D
