"Dancing with the Stars" professional dancer Mark Ballas was reportedly injured while performing on tour and will take time off to recover.

The 22-year-old dancer announced Saturday night during a show in Los Angeles that he had suffered a groin injury and will need to take "a couple of weeks" off to heal, People magazine reports.

Ballas grimaced in pain as he apologized to the Staples Center crowd for not being able to give his all, while still managing a spirited performance with his partner Kristi Yamaguchi as well as a crowd-pleasing, high-energy hip-hop routine with fellow pros Lacey Schwimmer and Derek Hough, People said.

Ballas is participating in Dancing with the Stars: The Tour, appearing in cities across the United States, and he plans to return to the highly-rated ABC show for its eighth season, beginning March 9.
