“Derek Hough Symphony of Dance: Encore” is produced by Greg Young of Mojave Ghost, a Tony Award and Drama Desk Award-nominated producer. He has produced award-winning Broadway shows and Las Vegas residencies (“Derek Hough No-Limit!” and Donny Osmond). 

New York Times bestselling author and “Extra” host Hough started dancing in his hometown of Salt Lake City at age 11. As a four-time Emmy winner and 13-time nominee, Hough is the most nominated choreographer in Television Academy history. Hough has also appeared in film, TV and stage projects as an actor.

He made his feature-film debut in “Make Your Move.” On TV, he starred alongside Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande and Martin Short in NBC’s “Hairspray Live” and appeared on the ABC series “Nashville.”  His stage performances include Radio City Music Hall’s “Spring Spectacular” and West End production of “Footloose.”

In 2020, Hough joined the hit ABC series “Dancing With the Stars” as part of the judging panel, having previously performed on the show as a pro-dancer and six-time champion. Additionally, Hough starred with Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo at the judges table for the NBC series “World of Dance” for four seasons.

His memoir “Taking the Lead; Lessons From a Life in Motion” was released in August 2014 and was named to The New York Times Best-Seller list in two non-consecutive time periods. In 2021, Hough launched his solo residency “Derek Hough: No Limit!” in Las Vegas.
