luved it! June 20, 2006
I want to write a testimonial, but I don't think the words exist that would really do Mark justice. I'm glad to have him as my friend, and I love to watch him dance.

Although Mark is a dear friend of mine, I can truly say that our friendship hasn't changed my opinion of his dancing at all..... he's simply excellent! His cane is to die for (Mark, I'm still waiting on my remedial cane lessons, lol), and he has a fun, flirty presence on stage that's a delight to watch. I hope to see Mark performing in Lebanon one day! :)
