By now, it is a fact well known – and greatly disliked – that Dancing with the Stars’ 2-time Mirror Ball Champion Pro and last Season’s First Runner-Up, Mark Ballas, will not be returning to the Ballroom for Season 23 of the Show.

What is seemingly NOT well known is why the Dance Program staple and beloved Choreographing-Genius, Mark – who's  been a consistent and competitive member of DWTS since first joining the Show for Season 4 – won’t be returning  … Until now!

Mark Ballas' Letter to his fans via Instagram

“I wanted to hand write this letter to personally thank each and every one of you for the support over the years.” Wrote Ballas recently, posting a picture of the hand-written script on Twitter and sending it out to his bewildered (And totally bummed!) fans everywhere.

“I am incredibly moved and grateful for all of your messages” The 30-year-old Dancer continued, “… I know many of you are concerned and curious.  I want to wish my DWTS comrades luck this season.  I'll miss competing and creating outside the box, however I am looking forward to this new chapter and venture that is beginning shortly.  I will soon have news for you all on where you can find me, I hope to see many of you there.  I love you all so much and couldn’t be more grateful for your loyalty and support [sic] You mean the world to me. See you soon … … …”

Soon after his Post, Mark followed it up with a second Posting – also via Twitter – of a photograph containing what appears to be some sort of a refined Sketch or Note Book, laying closed on a tabletop, along with a folded, red handkerchief - possibly one of the many ones Mark has been noted for wearing of late.

Tagging along with the cryptic photo was an equally mysterious message,

“COMING SOON…”

Hmmm, a tantalizing enigma, to be sure, and one that will likely keep Mark’s Fans excited and guessing!

Perhaps the book denotes some new Singles set to come out by Mark and his fiancée, BC Jean, via their increasingly popular Music Duo, Alexander Jean?? … Perhaps that is reaching …

  

Maybe Mark has hopes of becoming a published Author!

Whatever the case, time will certainly tell the answer to Mark's tease, and whether or not we’ll soon see Ballas back, bandana-ed, and in the Ballroom once more!

As for now, there’s seems to be only one fact that is certain at this time, Mark Ballas will – so very much – be greatly missed.
