Derek Hough is bringing world and cultural dance styles to a bigger audience in a new National Geographic series!
The dancer and choreographer will be starring in the upcoming Dance the World with Derek Hough, which will stream on Disney+, according to Deadline.
“I have been an avid fan of @natgeo as long as I can remember. My Dad had a massive collection until one day I unfortunately destroyed them all by cutting the Tigers and Lions out of them. What? I was making a collage on my wall. Sorry Dad, I promise one day I’ll replace them all🙏🏼,” Derek shared on Instagram. “Today is a very exciting day as my life long Love of Dance and National Geographic collide in a brand new show !!!”
Here’s a synopsis: Dance is the lifeblood of every culture. Dance is a global connective tissue that brings families and strangers alike together. I will be your guide on a journey to learn and discover the roots of the most popular dance styles and trends around the world from the cultures, environments and people who shaped them. In each episode, I will team up with a celebrity guest to uncover the origins and cultures that shaped the dance. Unleashed and inspired, every step in our adventure will culminate in a once-in-a-lifetime spectacular performance.
If you missed it, Dancing with the Stars is also heading to Disney+, but it’s currently unknown who...will be returning, from judges and host to the pros.
