Mark Herras, the original Bad Boy of the Dance Floor and StarStruck’s first male grand winner, surprised fans with a performance at the Apollo male entertainment bar on January 11, 2025. The show, held at 717-B Roxas Boulevard in Parañaque City, drew an enthusiastic crowd despite the PHP500 entrance fee.
Contrary to expectations, Mark did not strip during his performance. Instead, he delivered a carefully choreographed act with two male backup dancers. Wearing a bonnet, long-sleeved shirt, and pants, he kicked off the show with nostalgic moves from his early career. In the second segment, Mark removed his long-sleeved shirt to reveal a white sleeveless top and danced for a lucky female audience member, maintaining a professional and tasteful approach throughout the show.
The Apollo bar hyped his performance with a promise of killer moves and the opportunity for fans to interact with him. Mark’s involvement in this show highlights his determination to support his growing family with wife Nicole Donesa, as they prepare to welcome their second child.
Fans had mixed reactions on social media following the performance. Some praised his decision to take on unique work opportunities, with one commenting, “Mark Herras is showing us what it means to work hard for his family. Respect!” Others expressed surprise at his Apollo gig, saying, “I never thought I’d see him perform in a bar like this, but he still slays the dance floor!” Meanwhile, a few compared his career trajectory to Jennylyn Mercado, with one noting, “Mark’s doing what he can, and that’s admirable. Let’s not compare him to others.” Despite the varied opinions, many fans applauded his professionalism and dedication.
Despite challenges in his career, including being replaced in GMA-7’s Widows’ War, Mark remains a talented performer who still dominates the dance floor. His resilience and commitment to his craft show that he’s far from done.
