Dancing With The Stars Mark Ballas and former American Idol contestant Joanna Pacitti have been dating for over a year and marriage is certainly in their future but they want to wait for the right time to take the big step.

Mark and Joanna have the passion for music, art and dance in common. The 25 year-old aspiring singer (photos and videos) confessed she would love to be on DWTS but only if Mark was her partner.

“I would love to do it,” Joanna said. “I love watching him. It brings the biggest smile to my face, so I can’t imagine how happy I’d be dancing with him.”

“She’d be very, very good,” Mark said. “We’d have a really good time. We were actually doing the waltz in our living room last night.”

Joanna added, “I’d have to be partners with Mark. I don’t think I could dance with anyone else.”

Joanna was dropped from the American Idol for being ineligible to continue in the competition because she had had previous record deals and reportedly knew executives at 19 Entertainment, one of the companies involved with the show.
