Kristi Yamaguchi is set to make a return to the Dancing With the Stars ballroom nearly 10 years after she won the mirrorball trophy with pro partner Mark Ballas. While she is not a contestant on the landmark 25th season of the ABC celebrity ballroom competition, the 46-year old former Olympic figure skater will participate in her first judged performance on the DWTS dance floor in nearly a decade as part of a special star-studded trio dance competition.
Kristi Yamaguchi will reunite with Mark Ballas as they team up with Season 25 competitor Lindsey Stirling to dance a jazz to the song “Let’s Face The Music And Dance.” In an interview with The Mercury News, Kristi admitted she was nervous about making a return to Dancing With the Stars after so many years away from the ballroom. But after a couple of lengthy rehearsals with Mark and his current partner, Kristi admitted she instantly reconnected with Ballas as part of Team Stark.
