His work has brought him Emmy nominations and inquiries from the film and music world regarding his dance knowledge and ability.
In addition to choreographing the hit music video “Parachute” for British popstar Cheryl Cole, Hough performed live with her on her 2010 concert tour in England and France to rave reviews and standing ovations.
