What if one of the greatest choreographers and dancers of our time found mastery not in movement… but in stillness?
This week on Finding Mastery, we’re joined by Derek Hough—four-time Emmy Award winner, six-time Dancing with the Stars champion, and one of the most respected dancers and choreographers in the world.
This conversation isn’t just about dance. It’s about self-discovery, emotional resilience, and the quiet power of going inward.
Derek opens up about the intense challenges he faced growing up—from early trauma and feeling like an outsider to finding belonging in rhythm and movement. He shares the surprising moment that forced him to stop dancing—and what he found in the stillness that followed.
This episode explores:
Whether you’re an artist, a coach, or someone navigating your own path to self-mastery—this one’s for you.
