From the mind of Derek Hough, Symphony of Dance is the first national tour for the performing dynamo in four years following the sold-out successes of Derek Hough Live: The Tour, and Move Live on Tour, and Move – Beyond – Live on Tour. The show features high-energy choreography, stunning stage production, astounding versatility, and Derek’s magnetic stage presence. Fans will journey through a fusion of dance and music, as Derek explores styles ranging from ballroom and tap to salsa and hip-hop and everything in between. The creative team and two-time EMMY® winners, Napoleon and Tabitha Dumo, also known as NappyTabs (Jennifer Lopez’s ‘All I Have’, Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour, GRAMMYs® creative direction), co-create, direct and supervise choreography for the tour.
Derek Hough, who is also a New York Times Best-Selling author, started dancing in his hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah, at age 11. As a four-time Emmy Award winner and thirteen-time nominee, Hough is the most award-nominated choreographer in Television Academy history. Derek made his feature film debut for director Duane Adler and producer Robert Cort in the feature film Make Your Move and had a recurring role on the ABC series Nashville. His stage performances include Radio City Music Hall’s Spring Spectacular co-starring alongside the Tony Award-winning Laura Benanti and the critically acclaimed production of Footloose in which he starred as the male lead in London’s West End. In December 2016, Hough starred with Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, Martin Short, and Harvey Fierstein in NBC’s Hairspray Live! In 2020, Hough joined the hit ABC series Dancing with the Stars as part of the judging. A multi-talented entertainer and the only six-time champion in franchise history, Hough had previously performed on the show as a pro dancer. In addition, Hough starred with Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo at the judge’s table for the NBC series World of Dance for four seasons. Hough can also add best-selling authors to his list of credits. His memoir Taking the Lead; Lessons from a Life in Motion hit stands in August of 2014 and was rapidly named to the prestigious New York Times Best-Seller list during two non-consecutive periods, a rare feat. In 2021, Hough launched his solo residency Derek Hough: No Limit in Las Vegas, Nevada. The critically acclaimed dance-centric show at the Venetian Resort takes fans on a journey through a true fusion of dance and music, as Hough explores styles ranging from ballroom and tap to salsa, hip-hop, and everything in between.
