Derek Hough is a 4-time Emmy Award winner for his dance choreography. He is also known for his 6 Dancing with the Stars mirrorball trophies and is now a judge on the show. This year, he and his cast of professional dancers are on tour for the holidays, and he is inviting studios from each city to join them.

On December 8th, his tour will be in Cincinnati at the Andrew J Brady Music Center featuring Z Company Arts. Tickets sold out quickly due to Derek’s rise in popularity. Gen Z especially is giving Dancing with the Stars more views this past season, so more people are interested in seeing more of him and his choreography. He is popular with many generations, so the tour has become huge in each city, and this is only its first year.

From a dancer’s perspective, this is a huge opportunity for all the studios and young dancers invited. It’s a chance to perform with a big-name dancer and choreographer and experience what going professional would be like. One of his big mottos for his tour is to showcase that kids dance too, and that there will be a future of dance. He believes that the best way to live is to give.

Overall, Derek Hough is known for being super positive and encouraging, and to do this tour while spreading holiday joy is very important to many dancers and other people who go to watch. Now, with his wife’s medical scare this past year, he is even more optimistic about spreading love and support to everyone. The tour is only 2 months long, but it is known to allow for future careers and the holiday season to be bright.
