I think that “Classic” performance is my favorite Macy’s Stars of Dance EVER!! I do miss it too 🙁 Derek is just beyond brilliant! So is Mark..maybe not quite as brilliant as D but pretty darn good in his own right! Congrats to both!!
I have loved both of these. However, I have a question. Who is the girl dancing the lead in the Classic performance. I have always wondered. She looks so familiar to me but I just can’t figure it out. It will probably turn out to be someone I should know and I will have to smack myself upside the head…lol.
Congratulations to both Derek and Mark. I feel like I’ve watched you guys grow up before my eyes!
Lynne: her name is Jessica Keller
WOW! Great news! So happy for both Derek and Mark. Congratulations, D & M!
I KNEW IT!!!!!!! Such exciting news! Congratulations to both on their achievements! Many more to come I’m sure!
I believe her name is Jessica Lee Keller and she’s Chris Scott’s girlfriend.
Yay! congratulations to both of them! Lucky us to get to watch their work.
@Lynne, adding to what others have said about the lead female dancer in the “Classic” dance, she’s also appeared a few other times as part of pro dances/Macy’s performances. I might be missing some, but she was in Derek’s Emmy-nominated dance from Season 15 with the four girls and the water, the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers (LXD) performance in Season 15, and the tribute to the Royal Wedding in Season 12.
Congrats, Derek! The Classic piece was truly one of my favorite Macy Stars of Dance numbers. The choreography, dancing and set were beautiful. Loved seeing Derek dance & pull off some amazing tricks he use to do back in the earlier seasons.
Congrats also to Mark on his video… The song was really cool and its also cool to know that Derek was a Director for this video.. Ballas & Houh doing it big!! 🙂
Awesome!! Congratulations to Derek and Mark!! They’ve both work together twice on the show this season and now they’ve both won this award!
I’m so elated to see Derek & Mark win World Choreography Award. Way to go guys!!! You deserve it!!!
Congratulations to Derek & Mark! Well deserved!!! Your individual and collective talent is mind-blowing!!!
First this and now Mark Ballas has a song that has reached the billboard charts with BC Jean. I said this in another post, but I say Grammy worthy…!!!…
