No one wanted to keep dancing more than Sabrina Bryan. The Cheetah Girls star, who's been a shot of pure adrenaline on the Dancing with the Stars national tour, flies to India on Friday, Jan. 25, to shoot her third Disney TV-movie.
But as much as she welcomes the reunion with her Cheetah Girls posse, she doesn't want to go. "I'm dying," says Bryan, watching her professional dance partner and real-life leading man, Mark Ballas, rehearse in Indianapolis with another pro. "There have been so many ups and downs of me leaving. I've gone through the sob-fest twice already."
Bryan's last performance on the Dancing tour was on Sunday, Jan. 13, in Kansas City. But she chose not to take the first plane home to prepare for her overseas adven

She may not have won the Dancing with the Stars disco-ball trophy, but Sabrina Bryan won something equally important: instant name recognition (not to mention a new love). In the most shocking elimination in the show's five-season history, Disney Channel's Cheetah Girl, an early favorite, was sent packing in Week 6, little more than halfway through the competition. "I know there was a lot more I could have pulled out of her if we had stayed in," says her pro partner and now boyfriend, Mark Ballas. "So I'm definitely going to be pulling out all the stops on the tour."
Well, almost all the stops. Ballas is still recovering from a dislocated left shoulder and has to carefully dance around it. Still, this happy twosome can't wait to partner up again and show off

Dancing with the Stars pro Mark Ballas, 21, is on the mend after undergoing arthroscopic surgery Wednesday afternoon on his left shoulder. The popular pro, who teamed with Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan, dislocated his shoulder doing the cha-cha during the Dancing finale on Nov. 27, tearing a shoulder muscle in the process.
According to his father, ballroom great Corky Ballas, the minimally invasive surgery "went really well," and at some point Mark should be able to join the Dancing national tour that kicks off Dec. 18 in Seattle. That's good news for Ballas, who, before this, has never suffered a serious dance injury. And it's great news for Bryan, who is his real-life girlfriend and was facing two months on the road without him.

Not all the drama at Tuesday's Dancing with the Stars finale surrounded the crowning of a new winner. Pro hoofer Mark Ballas, who with Cheetah Girl/real-life love Sabrina Bryan wowed the crowd with a cha-cha, double-timed it to the hospital immediately following their performance. "Something funky was happening [with Ballas' shoulder]," says Bryan, who planned to beeline to the hospital after the show. "But he’s a true competitor [and] he wanted to have our last performance. He was not going to let anyone know." Sports mogul Mark Cuban heard that Ballas has "a torn muscle in his shoulder, and it’s really, really painful. It happens to basketball players all the time and it takes a while to heal."Hopefully not too much of a while, or Ballas may have to be scratched from the Dancing with the Stars national tour, which begins mid-December. — With reporting by Deborah Starr SeibelLots more DWTS coverage:• Dancing Champ Helio No Longer Paired with Fiance• Dancin...
