The candid pro also admitted he had several favorite moments throughout the past season as far as their more innovative dances.
"I had a couple. I had a lot of cool moments. I would definitely say turning into Edward Scissorhands was one of them," he recalled. "And then, also, when we did the 'Breaking Bad' dance with the bald cap. It was just cool to watch special effects work prosthetic skin on my head. It took like two or three hours. It was incredible."
As for whether Ballas will return for season 22 this spring, it remains a secret until next year.
"[ABC will] probably announce [the pros] end of February or early March," he teased.
It seems pretty likely at this point that Ballas will return, considering he's been a regular pro since season 5 and has consistently been one of the most creative and successful pros.
Dancing With the Stars returns Monday, March 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
