Derek Hough

Emmy Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Derek Hough started dancing in his hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah, 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 theater, music and dance.     

As a three-time Emmy Award winner and 13-time nominee, Hough is the most-nominated male choreographer in Television Academy history.  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" and in "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" for Disney+. His stage performances include Radio City Music Hall's "Spring Spectacular" costarring alongside the Tony(R) Award-winning Laura Benanti and the critically acclaimed production of "Footloose" in which he starred as the male lead in London's West End. In December 2016, Hough starred with Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, Martin Short and Harvey Fierstein in NBC's "Hairspray Live!"   

In 2020, Hough joined the judging panel of hit ABC series "Dancing with the Stars," alongside Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Toniolo. A multitalented entertainer and the only six-time champion in franchise history, 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.     

In May 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 10 years and was unparalleled dance competition featuring solo artists competing for a million-dollar prize against duos and crews in all genres of dance, including hip-hop, tap, ballet, break dancing, ballroom and more.   

Hough can also add bestselling author to his list of credits. His memoir, "Taking the Lead; Lessons from a Life in Motion," hit stands in August 2014 and rapidly was named to the prestigious New York Times Best-Seller list during two non-consecutive time periods, a rare feat.   

Hough completed his first solo national tour, Derek Hough Live: The Tour, in 2019 during which he performed in nearly 60 cities around the country. Prior to that, Hough and his sister Julianne teamed for a live stage dance concert, MOVE Live on Tour, performing in 50 cities around the countr;, in 2015 they toured again selling out scores of venues on their 47-city outing. In 2017, they again performed a sold-out tour of 48 cities around the United States with their show, Move - Beyond - Live on Tour.     

In 2021 and 2022, Hough headlined his residency, Derek Hough: No Limit, in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas. The critically acclaimed dance-centric show at the Venetian Resort takes fans on a journey through a true fusion of dance and music as Hough explores styles ranging from ballroom and tap to salsa, hip-hop and everything in between.    

Julianne Hough

Emmy Award winner, entertainer, producer and entrepreneur Julianne Hough is known to audiences globally for her success in film, television, music and, most recently, the Broadway stage. In 2022, she made her Broadway debut in the Tony(R) Award-nominated, uproarious political farce, "POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive," playing the role of Dusty at the iconic Shubert Theatre. That same year, she hosted the 75th Tony Awards: Act One alongside Darren Criss.    

A true multihyphenate, Hough became a household name as a two-time champion on ABC's top-rated "Dancing with the Stars" before further expanding her artistic footprint to include becoming an award-winning recording artist and accomplished actress. Her acting credits include "Safe Haven" opposite Josh Duhamel, "Footloose" with Kenny Wormald and Dennis Quaid, and "Rock of Ages" with Tom Cruise, among others. Hough returned to "Dancing with the Stars" in 2014 where she served as a permanent judge for three seasons and was also a judge on season 14 of "America's Got Talent."
