Mark Ballas of 'Dancing With the Stars' Is Leaping Away from His Los Angeles Home

Mark Ballas, who gained fame as a pro dancer on 20 total seasons of “Dancing With the Stars,” is selling his Los Angeles home.

Situated in the iconic Laurel Canyon neighborhood, the fab pad is available for $2,395,000.

The dancer twirled into the property in 2017, paying $1.7 million. And the 37 year old originally put the home on the market in April 2023 for $2,549,000.

Parts of it might even look familiar to some.

Insta-famous

If you follow Ballas on Instagram, as more than 800,000 people do, you’ll see the star and his wife, BC Jean, happily performing together in their home studio.

However, the space is not a dance studio. It’s a music studio. Ballas is also a talented guitarist and vocalist, and he and Jean make up the singer-songwriter duo, Alexander Jean, and frequently post their sessions on social media.

If the buyer prefers, the music studio could be converted back into a bedroom, of course.

As for the rest of the 2,104-square-foot house, the four-bedroom, two-bath, modern space features Laurel Canyon’s trademark verdant valley views.

The residence was built in 1952 and has since been thoroughly renovated and remodeled.

The interior offers unique Roman clay walls in calming shades of terra cotta, gray, and sand.

The terraced grounds include meditation, dining, and conversation areas, shaded by mature trees and colorful foliage. The 7,501-square-foot lot is just minutes from Sunset Boulevard, Studio City, and Mulholland Drive.

Laurel Canyon was famous for its rock-star residents in the 1960s and ’70s—Jim Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, and many others.

In addition to selling his house, more change is afoot for Ballas—he announced in March that he has danced his final competitive season on “Dancing With the Stars.”
