About Derek Hough:
Emmy Award-winning, New York Times Best-Selling author and “World of Dance” judge Derek Hough started dancing in his hometown of Salt Lake City, UT at age 11. Just one year later, he moved to London to live and train with the top dance coaches in the world and attend the prestigious Italia Conti performing arts school where he studied theatre, music and dance.
In 2020, Hough joined the hit ABC series “Dancing with the Stars” as part of the judging panel alongside Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Toniolo for the show’s 29th season. A multi-talented entertainer and the only six-time champion in the franchise, Hough had previously performed on the show as a pro-dancer. His mirror ball wins came with celebrity partners that included Brooke Burke, Jennie Garth, Ricki Lake, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Grey, Kellie Pickler, Amber Riley, Amy Purdy and Bindi Irwin. Hough was best known for his innovation and daring choreography on the show, which to date has garnered him three Emmy Award wins and eleven Emmy nominations for Best Choreography making him the most nominated male choreographer in television history.
In May of 2017, Hough joined Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo at the judges table for the NBC series “World of Dance.” The show, which he was part of for four seasons, launched as the highest rated summer show in over ten years and was an unparalleled dance competition that featured solo artists competing against duos and crews in all genres of dance, including hip hop, tap, ballet, break dancing, ballroom, and more competing for a million-dollar prize.
Hough has also appeared in film, television and stage projects as an actor. He made his feature film debut for director Duane Adler and producer Robert Cort in the feature film “Make Your Move” and had a recurring role on the ABC series “Nashville.” His stage performances include “Radio City Music Hall’s Spring Spectacular” costarring alongside the Tony Award-winning Laura Benanti and the critically acclaimed production of “Footloose” which he starred as the male lead in London's West End. In December of 2016, Hough starred with Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, Martin Short and Harvey Fierstein in NBC’s “Hairspray Live!”
