For his work, Hough received 14 nominations for the Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Choreography, winning the award 4 times. Hough later became a judge on the series beginning with its 29th season.[4][5]

Hough has also appeared as an actor on stage, appearing at the West End premiere of Footloose: The Musical at the Novello Theatre and as well as the 2015 New York Spring Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. In film and television, he has starred in the film Make Your Move and had a recurring role in the ABC musical-drama Nashville. In 2016, he appeared as Corny Collins in NBC's live musical TV-production of Hairspray Live![6]

From 2017 to 2020, Hough served as a judge on the NBC dance competition series World of Dance.[7]

Early life

[edit]

Hough grew up the fourth of five children in a Latter-day Saint family in Sandy, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City.[8] He is the son of Marianne and Bruce Hough, who was twice chairman of the Utah Republican Party and ran for Utah's 2nd congressional district in 2023,[9][10] and has four sisters, Sharee, Marabeth, Katherine, and Julianne.[11] All of his grandparents were dancers, and his parents met while on a ballroom dancing team in college in Idaho. He is the second cousin of musicians Riker, Rydel, Rocky, Ryland Lynch and Ross Lynch from R5; their maternal grandmothers are sisters.[12][13]

When Hough was 12, his divorcing 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 three months, 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 shows. Hough subsequently taught at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.[11][14] As well as being trained in many forms of dance, Hough can also play the piano, guitar, drums and bass.[15][16]

Career

[edit]

Competitive dancing and choreography

[edit]

Hough won the IDSF World Latin U-21 Championship in 2002, and the Blackpool U-21 Latin title with Aneta Piotrowska in 2003. He has won the LA Outstanding Dancer of the Year and New York Dance Alliance Outstanding Dance awards.[16]

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.[17] 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."[18] Hough then went on to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography.[19] 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.[20] Including the two nominations that he went on to win, Hough has been nominated for nine Emmy Awards for choreography.

Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics

[edit]

In 2013, Hough worked with world champion ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White[21] on a number for their upcoming 2014 Sochi winter Olympics short dance program that had to contain quickstep and foxtrot rhythms.[22][23] 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.[24] 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.[21]

Move Live On Tour

[edit]

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 Houghs who were chosen through auditions.[25] 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.[26] For the tour choreography, the Hough siblings collaborated with Nappytabs.[27]

Following the success of the 2014 tour and high demand, the Houghs 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.[28] Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo "Nappytabs" returned as collaborating choreographers alongside the Hough siblings.[29] Auditions were also held to recruit a new group of dancers to join the Houghs, although some back-up dancers from the previous year returned.

On July 9, 2016, the Houghs held a free fitness pop-up event called 'Move Interactive' in Los Angeles, which they announced would be the first of many to come. The event started off in Sherman Oaks with a workout session at Pulse Fitness Studios led by celebrity personal trainer and owner, Mark Harari. The participants then took part in a 2-mile run along Ventura Blvd, before finishing off with a dance fitness class at JustDance Los Angeles. According to Hough, the motivation behind the event was to "bring health, love, community and human interaction into our everyday lives."[30] The following week, on July 14, the Houghs held a second free Move Interactive event in Fryman Canyon, LA, which included a hike and team building exercises.[31]

On December 14, 2016, they announced, via social media, that they would be going on a new tour, MOVE BEYOND Live on Tour, in 2017.[32]

For season 14, Hough partnered with television personality Maria Menounos.[50] In week seven, the couple earned the first 30 of the season and topped the leader board the first time in the season.[51] The couple made it to the semi-finals but were eliminated after they finished at the top of the leader board.[52] 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.[53] They were runners-up to Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani.[54]

On July 27, 2012, Hough announced that season 15 would be his last. A 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.".[55] He was partnered with country singer and former American Idol contestant, Kellie Pickler.[56] 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.[57]

On August 2, 2013, Hough confirmed that he would be back for season 17 via an interview with Access Hollywood.[58] The cast for season 17 was announced on September 4, 2013.

For season 18, Hough was paired with paralympic snowboarder, Amy Purdy.[62] In the finale on May 20, 2014, the couple was runner-up for the season, behind Meryl Davis and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.[63]

On August 13, 2014, ABC announced that Hough would be back for the season 19[64][65] and in September, it was announced that he would be paired with YouTube personality Bethany Mota.[66] The couple made it to the first night of the finals, finishing in fourth place.

On February 24, 2015, Hough was announced as one of the returning professional dancers on season 20 despite previously reporting he would not be taking part in this season.

Due to the travel restrictions between England and the United States during the coronavirus pandemic, Goodman was unable to return for season 29.[71] He returned as a judge for its 30th and 31st seasons[5] and after the retirement and death of Goodman, he was named interim head judge for season 32.[72]
