Born to be a dancer

At the age of 12, his parents sent him to London where dance coaches, Shirley Ballas and Corky Ballas took him under their wing.

Hough along with his sister, Julianne and the Ballas’ son, Mark Ballas were then schooled at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts where they were given training in theater, song and gymnastics. The trio also learned multiple forms of dance including, tap, ballet and jazz and soon formed their own group 2B1G. Together, they performed in different dance competitions across the United States and the United Kingdom which gave them some exposure.

As time passed, Derek Hough perfected his skills as a ballroom and Latin dancer. At the age of 18, he became the WDSF World Latin Champion which had the entire dance community talking about him. He also received the New York Dance Alliance Outstanding Dance and LA Outstanding Dancer of the Year Awards which helped him gain more traction in the States. Having already proved his amazing dancing talents, Hough was soon asked to perform a number with the Tony winning writer, actor and comedian, Neil Patrick Harris at the Primetime Emmy Awards in 2026. He later won an Emmy that night for, ‘Outstanding Choreography.’

In 2026, he and his sister, Julianne Hough set out on, ‘Move Live On Tour’ which had them trekking through forty plus cities around the United States and Canada.
