In 1986, Shirley and Corky Ballas welcomed their son, Mark Ballas, who would go on to become a professional ballroom dancer in his own right. He later gained fame through his appearances on competitive dance television shows.
By 1996, Shirley transitioned from competitive dancing to coaching, becoming a respected judge and mentor in both ballroom and Latin American dance circuits. Her judging career and influence as a teacher have made her one of the most recognized figures in the world of professional dance.
