This is a site for fans of Derek Hough. We try our best to compile all news, pictures, music and videos about and by Derek – if you find something you think we’ve missed, feel free to contact us. If you are a new fan of Derek’s and want to learn more about him, the “Accomplishments” and “Biography” buttons to the left contain pages of what we know (or think we know). ;-)
Also to the left is a music section where you can find music by Ballas Hough, Derek’s band, and songs that Derek has danced to on Dancing with the Stars. Complete with iTunes links.
If you want to see old posts, there are two ways: 1) by the media buttons to the left, or; 2) by month under the “Derek Archives” buttons also on the left-hand side of this page.
The first one is by AV8TRIX and is The Best of Derek and Jennifer – they had a lot of great dances too. Miss them…
This one has a lot of video from Parachute, but set to Do it for You by BHB. It’s tagged “JulianaSantos16″ – well done to her too.
Okay, I cheated – this isn’t a fan video. This is the Kevin Rudolf pro dance with Derek, Julianne, Chelsie, Lacey and Artem. I just like it and I saw it while I was scanning for a sampling of fan created video.
I thought this was sweet. From KristenRenee23 – who I think must be one of the dopeyo girls who voted their behinds off.
Here’s another good one from Jessica10234fromcp!!
From ProducedbyH2C another lovely fan video.
If anyone has any other fan videos, don’t be shy and send them on to me. I’ll happily post them. As most know I was sick for a good week and a half (and still not completely with it) and before that extremely busy with the season – I’m not intentionally ignoring anyone, I was just over whelmed.
This was written by Deana – totally unedited, except I put in a couple paragraph breaks for easier reading. Video and pictures are included also!
My Derek Adventure… Riding Solo
Once again our FAVORITE Dancing Man Derek Hough is the Champ of DWTS. He is the first pro to take 3 mirror balls and I couldn’t be a prouder fan! I am DancingForDerek Deana (Mommyof3boysD on Twitter) and I have been a #1 fan and following Derek’s career for awhile now. I have always had a passion for dance and Derek brought that passion back for me. I have been very fortunate to have met him several times. I live in NY and whenever he is here, I am right there to support him. So of course I knew I would be going to GMA again if Derek made the final 3. So figuring he would at least be in the finals, I requested tickets to GMA back at the start of the season of DWTS. I knew if they did come to GMA this time it would be cold and probably only in the studio, so I wanted to guarantee myself a spot inside. I had requested several tickets in hopes some of my Derek buddy’s would join me. Unfortunately, I hadn’t heard from GMA or confirmation that they would even be there until days before the show when I did get an e-mail with ticket confirmation. My usual partner in crime Aimee (another Derek fan) was going to be away, so she wasn’t able to come with me. There were a few other Derek fans that were considering coming with me and I wished they had, but in the end it was Me, Myself & I. I am very proud of myself for wanting to be there and still going by myself.
I had been to the GMA After Party in May for Derek & Nicole’s season win. This time it was so cold out and the line was much longer then last time… probably because of the Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC the next day, the traffic was crazy. I got there at 5am and the line was around the corner already. Although many had confirmation ticket e-mails to get into the studio because there were so many people there, not everyone was going to get into the studio. They divided the line so some would have a chance to fit in the studio and the ones that definitely wouldn’t could stand outside for the bus arrival. Last time I did both and was sad about this. I started to consider since I am at the end of the studio line maybe there was a chance I wouldn’t even get in and then also miss the bus arrival around the corner. So I decided to go find our security friend from last time. He is awesome and not only did he put me right up front on the red carpet outside for the bus arrival (see my arrival video) but then after, I went into the studio 1st VIP. What a treat!!
I stood in the same spot that I did last time right in front of the interviewing chairs… but this time it was more on camera. I was surprised at how much I saw myself on TV after I watched it and friends called having recognized me. They gave out team tees (the ones on sale on ABC.com) and I was lucky my section was Derek & Jen’s, so I got a “Baby Derek” Tee. How PERFECT! Then when Derek came out into the studio, he came right over to our section slapped hands with me & others (check out my video of that) Derek LOVED that we had the team shirts on. Even on a break he asked a camera guy to take a picture with his phone of him in front of our section and he was kneeled right down in front of me Wish he would share that pic. I also brought a Rough Tough Team Grough tee I made and I was going to hold it up as a sign, BUT I had it on floor after I put on the team tee they gave us. Derek noticed it on the floor and picked it up on his own, looked at it and said “COOL” & took it to show Jen & Lacey then held it up and posed for a pic with it. I then also got the pic of the two of us.
It was crazy in studio…not a lot of time for talk like last time outside, but he did come over to me. I am very thankful for that. Then guess who came and stood next to me?…Jen’s daughter Stella and her hubby and I said… “oh Hi your Mom is AWESOME” she smiled and is so cute! Jen came over later got a close up shot (camera too zoomed in) of us (but at least a memory) and I told her what an inspiration she was and my passion for dance & Derek. She was thrilled and told me I have to pursue it! She is the sweetest and my fav partner of his so far! Kyle was so much fun, I didn’t get a pic with him but he grabbed my hand upon arrival and talked to us too. I also Didn’t get a pic with Mark but he waved… & Maks & Tony & Val were all there too…FUN show!
I also took a pic with Cameron Matheson while I was waiting for them to leave outside. It was a FUN show! Hope every Derek fan gets to meet him one day…until then let’s keep sharing the Derek LOVE and our adventures….and get that boy on the big screen! Deana
DWTS GMA Bus Arrival
Arrival in studio GMA Derek comes running over… high fives me, so sorry the camera is a little shaky
Derek & Jen dancing and the curtain improv was hilarious by Derek
That’t the name of a new video made by a Jennifer fan and I thought it was very cool so I’m putting it up here. I’m also going to make a suggestion – guys, those of you who have been visiting the site for a while have gotten to know each other a bit (and recognize each other by screen name) and you should get to know each other a bit more. Why don’t you “find a friend”? Exchange email addresses in the comments – or get me to do it for you privately if you prefer – with someone who seems to think like you, or writes comments like you would. Call it Team Jenougher Networking. Then – you can share voting tips with each other. We’re all going to have to work together very hard on Monday night to get Jennifer and Derek the win. VERY hard. I want it. Do you?
but he waved… & Maks & Tony & Val were all there too…FUN show!
