Derek Hough Gives Helpful Tip to DWTS Season 32 Contestants

In an Instagram reel, the six-time Mirrorball champion mentioned the consequences of the dancers’ nervous energy. According to Hough, getting ahead of the music can affect the “confidence” and “certainty” of their dance.

“Think behind the beat. If you think a little bit behind the beat, you’ll actually arrive on the beat,” he said. “If you think on the beat, and you’re dancing on the beat, you’re naturally with all your adrenaline and all your excitement, you’ll actually be ahead of the music.”

Hough went on to explain that when one is ahead of the music, it may be really hard to slow down. He then added that applying his tip will allow for “room to create dynamics to speed up, to create speed, to create resistance.”


“I’m here to help. I want you guys to do fantastic I have room for you all, and I’ll see you next week on Dancing With The Stars. Good luck, everybody,” he said.

For episode 3 of Season 32, celebrity/professional partners are preparing a dance for Motown Night. Fans are excited to see which pairs have taken Hough’s advice to heart.

Soon after seeing his appreciation post, several fans expressed how much they have enjoyed his show.
