We’re a week away from the “Dancing with the Stars: All-Star” season and all the teams are slammed rehearsing, but Mark Ballas was still nice enough to send us a message about how things are going with partner Bristol Palin.

1st off, he believes that Sabrina Bryan, Shawn Johnson, Gilles Marini and Emmitt Smith are their biggest competition. Although, he’s still just trying to get Bristol to loosen up and says the secret with her is to have fun, go with the flow and get her to laugh!

The “Dancing with the Stars“champion performed an eclectic mash-up for some fans of KIIS FM. In his sultry solo performance, the fancy footed Mark played a mix of “Waiting On the World To Change” by John Mayer, “Rude Boy” by Rihanna, and “Ain’t No Sunshine” by Bill Withers.

Mark shows us off his cool style and ‘triple threat’ capabilities in this cool new video; take a look below!
