Mark Ballas seems to be open to whatever comes his way on Dancing With the Stars. The veteran professional dancer, who is paired with Irish television personality and model Maura Higgins on the 35th season of the ABC celebrity ballroom competition, hinted that he’d consider a permanent role on the judges’ panel. But he also made it clear that he’s not one to jump ahead.
“I’d have to see,” Ballas, 40, told The Hollywood Reporter in a new interview. “I’m a very take it day-by-day person. Honestly, I don’t think ahead like that. I’d have to see if it came along. I enjoyed guest judging. The Next Pro was really fun. I think I’ve done the show for long enough that I could give good feedback and advice for contestants. But, again, that’s totally out of my hands.”
The current Dancing With the Stars judges panel features Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Ann Inaba and Derek Hough. Tonioli and Inaba have been judges on the TV dance-off ever since its debut in 2005. Late ballroom veteran Len Goodman was the head judge on the show from 2005 to 2022.

In 2024, Ballas appeared as a guest judge on Dancing With the Stars and received rave reviews from the panel.
Inaba told Entertainment Weekly that Ballas was “phenomenal” as a guest judge. “I hope he comes back again and again!” she said at the time.
Speaking with Us Weekly, Hough added that Ballas had “a lot to offer” as a judge with all of his “wisdom and insight.”
Ballas and his mother, Shirley, were both judges on the summertime spinoff Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro in 2026. Mama Ballas then returned as a guest judge to give biting commentary—and shockingly low scores—on Season 35 as her son competed as a pro dancer.
When asked if he thought it more likely that he or his mom would become a permanent Dancing With the Stars judge, Ballas told THR, “I have no idea. She’s already a judge on Strictly [Come Dancing’]. That would be difficult to do both, but Len did it for so long. So did Bruno. I have no idea what the intentions are with the panel. I think the panel is pretty set.”
