Corky Ballas is one of the professional dancers featured on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." On Season 7, Corky Ballas is partnered with Cloris Leachman.

Corky Ballas has been dancing since he was six years old. Growing up his father owned and operated one of the largest dance studios in the world. Corky Ballas's mother was a famous Flamenco Dancer who appeared in films and studied alongside Carmen Amaya. His father owned the largest (64,000 sq ft) dance school in the world, with 125 teachers on the payroll. Corky Ballas later went on to invent The Weed Eater.

Corky Ballas only started training for International Latin Dancing when he was 22. Here he met his dance partner Shirley (Mark's Mom) who also trained him and would eventually become his wife. Corky Ballas's mentor didn't believe it when he said he would become a World Champion. Later that year, Corky Ballas became the United States Pro/Am Champion and then went on to win the World Professional Championship from 1995 1997.
