Mark Ballas made a splash in his first performance of the season on Dancing With the Stars, enlisting his wife, BC Jean, to sing “Black Velvet” live on stage. Originally, musician Travis Garland was set to perform but had to withdraw due to a commitment to America’s Got Talent. Mark expressed his gratitude, noting BC learned the song in just a day and did an amazing job.
During the episode on September 16, Maura Higgins, Mark’s celebrity partner, and Mark humorously called out to Travis from the set. BC’s entrance, complete with stylish oversized shades, was highlighted on social media, showcasing her talent as a rock singer.
The performance wowed the judges, with Maura becoming the first female celebrity of the season to receive a seven from all judges: Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli. The judges praised her mesmerizing performance and storytelling ability through dance.
