Julianne Hough

Emmy Award-winner Julianne Hough is a true triple threat - dancer, actress, singer, and born entertainer. Known globally for her breakout on “Dancing with the Stars,” she’s the youngest pro to win twice, judge on the panel and now host the hit ABC series. On screen, Hough has starred in Burlesque, Footloose, Rock of Ages, Safe Haven, Paradise and Grease Live!, and returned to film in 2026 after an eight-year hiatus in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s horror-dance spectacle The Bride. On stage, Hough made her Broadway debut in 2022 in the critically acclaimed POTUS. As an entrepreneur, Hough founded KINRGY, a movement and wellness platform empowering self-expression through dance. With a flagship studio in West Hollywood and worldwide digital access, KINRGY reaches and teaches thousands. She also co-founded Ovation, a next-gen dance convention and competition tour, alongside brother Derek Hough and DanceOne. Hough's creative project choices continue to prioritize blending movement and storytelling at the highest level.
