Summary
- Maura Higgins accidentally chipped Mark Ballas' tooth during dance practice.
- Ballas reassured fans, joking about his teeth not being in great shape.
- The couple received a score of 19 out of 30 for their Week 2 performance.
Professional dancer Mark Ballas sustained a chipped tooth during a "Dancing with the Stars" rehearsal session, as revealed by his partner, Maura Higgins. The incident occurred in the week leading up to their Week 2 performance on Tuesday, September 22.
Higgins shared the news in the skybox, humorously suggesting she might pursue boxing after the mishap. Ballas, however, downplayed the injury, reassuring fans and quipping that his teeth were already in less-than-perfect condition. This minor incident did not overshadow their performance, a cha-cha to Earth, Wind & Fire's "September."
The couple, who also competed on "The Traitors" together, received a combined score of 19 out of 30 from the judges for their dance. Judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Derek Hough awarded them a 6, while Bruno Tonioli scored them a 7. Despite the physical challenges of the week, Ballas has praised Higgins' work ethic.
