Derek Hough’s Wonderful “Dance for the Holidays” Is Bustling and Moves Swiftly
On Tuesday November 3, 2026, Derek Hough and his company performed at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center in Thousand Oaks. Derek Hough is something of a superstar from the “Dancing with the Stars” television phenomenon. He has been nominated for fourteen Emmys for “Outstanding Choreography” and has won four times. He is a charismatic and technically superb dancer proficient in many styles and disciplines. In addition, he sings well and can play multiple instruments. So, it was with great anticipation that I and the sold-out audience geared up for what was certain to be a great show.
