Mark shared some thoughts about his experience in 'DWTS' Season 31. Mark took off from Disney+'s dancing show for 5 years. He thought of giving a pass to the show this season as well. The star wrote, "After 5 years of not creating in this arena the ideas started flooding out quite quickly, then I had my first meet w/ @charlidamelio..." She further praised his dance partner Charli and thanked her for being kind and supportive.

Mark claimed Charli to be "shy and timid" at first. But he had hope that their bond will grow stronger with time. Mark claimed, "I knew there was something extremely special in there, which became even more apparent after our first performance." The things about Charli that impressed Mark the most were her hard work, not being on the phone while at work, and having trust in Mark's wild ideas. Mark called Charli to have a "STELLAR attitude." The professional dancer further added that Charli was not only kind to him but to his family as well. Mark ended his post on an emotional note, saying that he will be missing "daily car rides to and from practice, hitting up the McDonald’s drive-through, British Grime, and 90s Alt music." Mark ended his note saying, "I feel honored & privileged to have been your coach, partner, friend & big brother." He further claimed Charli to be the "strongest" and "quietest" person.

Mark started appearing in 'DWTS' from Season 5 in 2007. Ever since he didn't miss a season. Mark even won the Mirrorball trophy twice, once with Kristi Yamaguchi and the other with Shawn Johnson. Ever since Season 22, his appearance was not constant on the show. He appeared in Season 25 and then in Season 31. Romper reports the professional dancer taking a break from his career and rather choosing to focus on other things in his life, his wife Brittany Jean, and his work for 'Jersey Boys.' Well, his on-and-off appearance on 'DWTS' had made many wonders whether he will be back for 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 32.
