Judge Mark Wilson lives by the philosophy that sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
Mark is a harsh but fair judge.
This attitude is perhaps what made him Australian Dancesport Champion five times – four in new vogue and once in modern.
He has competed throughout the UK, Europe and Japan.
On two occasions he came 15th in the world Dancesport Championship finals, once at Blackpool, England in 1989 and again in Tokyo, Japan, in 1990.
Mark also appeared in That's Dancin', winning the professional series. He went on to adjudicate at the Australian Dancesport Championships every year since becoming a judge, and at other competitions in Asia.
He now also coaches new judges and is a junior development officer for Dancesport Victoria promoting school dance programs.
Mark is one of the regular judges on the top rating television show Dancing With The Stars with the 9th Series due to start mid 2009.
