Derek Hough (/ˈhʌf/; born May 17, 1985)[1] is an American professional latin and ballroom dancer, choreographer, actor, singer-songwriter, and musician. He is known for his work, since September 2007, on the ABC dance-competition series Dancing with the Stars, on which he has won a record six seasons. He has won two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Choreography for several routines that he choreographed for the show.

Hough starred in various stage productions such as in the 2006 original production of Footloose: The Musical at the Novello Theatre in London's West End, as well as the 2015 New York Spring Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. He also starred in Make Your Move, a 2013 Romeo and Juliet-inspired South Korean-American independent dance film. In 2014, he began a recurring acting role on ABC's musical-drama Nashville. Slated to air on Dec. 7 2016, Hough will play Corny Collins in NBC's live musical TV-production Hairspray Live!.[2] He is also set to star as Don Lockwood in the upcoming 2017 Broadway production of Singin' in the Rain.[3]

Early life

Hough and his sister Julianne at the 2014 Kaleidoscope Ball

Hough grew up the fourth of five children in a Latter-day Saint (Mormon) family in Sandy, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City.[4] He is the son of Marianne and Bruce Hough, and has four sisters, Sharee, Marabeth, Katherine, and Julianne.[5]

All of his grandparents were dancers, and his parents met while on a ballroom dancing team in college in Idaho. He is a second cousin of musicians Riker, Rydel, Rocky, and Ross Lynch from R5.[6][7]

When Hough was 12, his parents sent him to London to live and study with dance coaches Corky and Shirley Ballas. Hough's sister Julianne joined him in London several months later. Originally intending to stay for a year, Hough remained in London for ten years. (Julianne returned after five years.) The Ballases helped tutor the two Hough children alongside their own son, Mark Ballas, schooling them at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts. They received training in song, theater, gymnastics, and many forms of dance, including jazz, ballet, and tap. The three children formed their own pop music trio 2B1G ("2 Boys, 1 Girl") and performed at dance competitions in the UK and the U.S., and showcased UK television show. As well as being trained in many forms of dance, Hough can also play the piano, guitar and drums.[8][9]

Derek subsequently taught at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.[5][10]

Career

Competitive dancing and choreography

Hough is a former IDSF World Youth Latin Champion (2002) as well as a Blackpool U-21 Latin title (2003) for Poland with Aneta Piotrowska. He has won the LA Outstanding Dancer of the Year and the New York Dance Alliance Outstanding Dance awards.[9]

On September 22, 2013, for the first time, the category for Outstanding Choreography for the Emmy Awards was moved to the Primetime Live Show, and all of the nominees in the category were to create and perform a number with the host of the show, Neil Patrick Harris. Hough, who was nominated for Dancing with the Stars, was part of that number, along with the other nominees.[11] Ken Ehrlich, the executive producer of the show, stated, "It's definitely going to be an original number, something that hasn't been done before. It's going to utilize the talents of all of them to put this number together as choreographers."[12] Hough then went on to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography.[13] On September 12, 2015, Hough won his second Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography, alongside Julianne Hough and Tessandra Chavez. This was both Julianne Hough's and Chavez's first Emmy win for outstanding choreography.[14] Including the two nominations that he went on to win, Hough has been nominated for 7 Emmy Awards for choreography.

Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics

On April 18, 2013, Hough announced that he had started working with world champion ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White[15] on a number for their upcoming 2014 Sochi winter Olympics short dance program that had to contain quickstep and foxtrot rhythms.[16][17] Davis and White went on to win the gold medal with the routine. Their win made Olympic history, marking the first Olympic title in the event for the United States.[18] About this opportunity, Hough said:

I started working on a very special routine that's not for the show [Dancing with the Stars]. I'm choreographing a number for our world champion ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White to perform at the Olympics next year. They graciously asked me to do it and how could I say no? It's truly an honor and they're amazing.[15]

Move Live On Tour

On March 18, 2014, Hough, along with his sister, Julianne, announced a summer tour of over 40 cities across the U.S. and Canada, called "Move Live on Tour", which would include dancing and singing from both of them, and the appearance of a group of dancers employed by the Hough's who were chosen through auditions.[19] They embarked on the sold out tour on May 25, 2014 in Park City, Kansas and ended it in Los Angeles on July 26, 2014. Due to the success of ticket sales and several sold out venues before the tour had officially kicked off, several more shows were added to the tour schedule, which also sold out.[20] For the tour choreography, the Hough siblings collaborated with Nappytabs.[21]

Following the success of the 2014 tour and high demand, the Hough's announced the return of "Move Live on Tour" in the summer of 2015. Spanning from June 12, 2015 to August 8, 2015, the sold out tour visited over 40 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada, and visited larger venues than in the previous year.[22] Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo "Nappytabs" returned as collaborating choreographers alongside the Hough siblings.[23] Auditions were also held to recruit a new group of dancers to join the Hough's, although some back-up dancers from the previous year returned.

Dancing with the Stars

Hough made his first appearance on Dancing with the Stars in season four (week 6) as a guest instructor with Julianne and Apolo Anton Ohno.[24] He then joined the cast of professional instructors in season five and was paired with Jennie Garth.[25] Hough and Garth were eliminated in the semi-finals finishing the competition in fourth place.[26]

For season six, Hough was paired with actress Shannon Elizabeth.[27] They were eliminated from the show on April 29, 2008, finishing the competition in sixth place.[28]

For season 14, Hough partnered with television personality Maria Menounos.[42] In week seven, the couple earned the first 30 of the season and topped the leader board the first time in the season.[43] The couple made it to the semi-finals but were eliminated after they finished at the top of the leader board.[44] Menounos became the second celebrity in Dancing with the Stars history to be eliminated on a night where she came in first place with the judges (the first was Willa Ford in season three).[citation needed]

For season 15 (All Stars), Hough was paired with season eight champion, Shawn Johnson.[45] They were runners-up to Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani.[46]

On July 27, 2012 Hough announced that season 15 would be his last, calling it his "last hurrah".[47] Few months later, on February 22, 2013, Hough announced that he would be back for season 16, stating on his Twitter account, "Wasn’t sure if I was able to do this season because of my other projects, but worked it out so I can do both. #pumped.".[48] He was partnered with country singer and former American Idol contestant, Kellie Pickler.[49] On May 21, 2013, Pickler was crowned season 16 champion, marking the fourth time Derek won the Mirror Ball trophy, and made him the only pro to have won four Mirror Balls.[50]

On August 2, 2013, Hough confirmed that he would be back for season 17 via an interview with Access Hollywood.[51] The cast for season 17 was announced on September 4, 2013. Hough's partner for season 17 was Glee star Amber Riley.[52][53] Riley was crowned season 17 champion, historically marking the fifth time Hough has won the Mirror Ball trophy, and made him once again the only pro to have won five Mirror Balls.[54]

For season 18, Hough was paired with paralympic snowboarder, Amy Purdy.[55] In the finale on May 20, 2014, the couple was runner-up for the season, behind Meryl Davis and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.[56]

On August 13, 2014, ABC announced that Hough would be back for the season 19[57][58] and in September, it was announced that he would be paired with YouTube personality Bethany Mota.[59] The couple made it to the first night of the finals, finishing in fourth place.
