Derek Hough interview
Seacrest interviews Hough during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his book Taking the Lead: Lessons From a Life in Motion.
I was kind of reflecting on my life and certain experiences, and you know when I’m teaching and coaching my partners on Dancing With the Stars, I sort of use those stories and anecdotes to help them sort of overcome certain fears explains Derek. For me, it was sort of a natural thing to do. They’re lessons to be learned and also to be re-learned. I just wanted to share that.
People cover
Hough and her brother Derek appears on the cover of People to discuss their tough childhood, strong sibling bond, and how they found happiness through dance.
If you look at home videos of us, we were always dancing. There was always music on. My dad would always tell Derek, ‘No hip thrusts onstage!’—which I now think is so funny because he earns a living doing that.
