- With the current season of Dancing With the Stars coming to an end, we sit down and watch a few of Derek's most memorable DWTS Finale performances! Which were your favorites?
Derek is gonna go down as the best pro dancer on this show
Agree
Well he won a record 6 times so it makes sense. The most anyone else has won is two.
Love Derek so much he is the best
Derek is by far the best dancer ever on the show. I’d want him as my partner or I wouldn’t do it. Love him.
already has tbh
this just shows how Derek pushed the envelope on DWTS and it's why he was the ELITE pro

So blown away by Derek's heart to genuinely want to lovingly coach others.
That is one of the reasons he won the mirrorball 6 times. He is an encourager, which is the number one thing I love about him.
The freestyle with Kelly brought the tears. I recently lost all my hearing overnight and this performance proves that you can listen and see with your heart. Beautiful job Derek, Kelly has such beautiful lines and pure raw truth when she moves.
@@jimmywade6438 I’m very sorry you lost your hearing. I hope you’re doing well.
SHAWN & DEREK’S QUICKSTEP IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE DANCES OF ALL TIME & IT BOTHERS ME TO THIS DAY THAT THEY NEVER ONCE GOT A PERFECT SCORE ON THAT DANCE
I totally agree. The week before that dance the judges had laid down a challenge to all the pros for the following week. The challenge was to do something or somethings in their dance routines that had never been done before and they did just what they were told to do. The jumped on the trampolines, they fell into the orchestra pit, and they broke hold in the quickstep. Should have been 10's all around.
I know!!! Now they give away 10’s for mediocrity
Because he broke the rules I’m glad he did not get a perfect score
@@shawnalocke8486 He did not break the rules. The week before the judges challenge to the pros for the next weeks dances was to do something or somethings that had never been done before. Breaking hold in the quickstep qualifies as something that had never been done before. There were enough quickstep elements in their quickstep that it was obvious it was a quickstep.
At least it got an emmy and that truly matters!
Amber’s performance is the reason why I started watching DWTS!
Me too!!!
He got dogged saying he couldn’t win with an obese partner & look what happened? MBT #5
@@kaknurse I never knew he said this. Would you mind telling me where the interview is?
@@drkjourney1 no Derek didn’t say he couldn’t win with a big girl, Other people were talking shit saying that they’d he’d never win with amber Riley being a bigger person.
Same here
The freestyle with Kelly brought the tears. I recently lost all my hearing overnight and this performance proves that you can listen and see with your heart. Beautiful job Derek, Kelly has such beautiful lines and pure raw truth when she moves.
Oh my gosh I am so sorry! Do you know what happened??
I hope your doing well!
Sending love and prayers
Aw! I was in the audience at the very tippy top for your finale with Kelli Pickler. I yelled your name down during the commercial break just before you were announced as winners. I actually got your attention and you looked up to me. I screamed "Go for 4!" (cuz, you know, it was your 4th win), and you tapped your heart and put your hands together saying thank you. It made. my. year. Such a fantastic time! xx
Aww that's so cool!!! I wish I could see a live show, let alone a finale!
The trio with Amber , Derek and Mark was also very memorable IMO...
And Bindi, Derek, and Mark’a trio too
Yes!!!
I don't remember which trio it was but Derek said Mark's so helpful because he's an awesome girl dancer. 🤣
I watched DWTS just to watch Derek. He's beyond fabulous.
The Kelly P. finale was a game changer, memorable. Bravo! In my opinion is one of the best routines in DWTS’ history.
The finally with Amber was the BEST one. Hooray for the big girls! Amber is my girl, talent all around. Derek miss you dancing on the show. To me you were the best dancer/choreographer..You and Haley are beautiful together.
So many 'haters' talked shit about how Derek was going to finally lose, that there was no way he would get to like the final 5 let alone win the entire season simply because of her size. I saw their win as a giant FU to all them ignorant people.
@@CrisPheasant wtf disgusting ? Amber clearly is gifted performer but what even more great is that she won that season I hope she shoved her victory into their faces
I legitimately still watch the complilation of Derek Hough and Shawn Johnsons dances. Its iconic.
The dance with Bindi Irwin, and Mark Ballas was pure genius. She is the sweetest human.
The fusion you choreographed for Shawn Johnson, and Mark had to step in for you, was another monumental moment.
Yessssss YOU and AMBER MASTERED THAT SEASON 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯❤❤❤🤯
Derek is an awesome coach, you can see and feeling his love for dancing and wanting to help the couples do better by giving great feedback.
I always thought it was your freestyle with Amber that introduced you to body percussion and stepping. She really was an amazing performer.
I replied to a couple of comments below about how much I loved watching Shawn Johnson and you dance together. Since I have been watching Shawn and Andrews channel for a long time, Andrew loves it when she wears dresses and has shared how much he loves her. Since I'm in the hospital most of the time, I haven't watched an entire season, but I did catch most of the season with Shawn and I watched all of the season with Bindi. I have a couple of auto-immune diseases and I'm in the hospital most of the time. if I can find the channel on the TV in my rooms, I will watch what I can. With Bindi's season, a nurse always came into the room to let me know the show was coming on soon and she would pop into the room to see how you and Bindi was doing. The whole season with her I was in the hospital and you both made my hospital stay a lot better. I live in St. George, Utah and thankfully at the IHC hospitals they have the same channels that I have. If I'm admitted to our local hospital or if they have to transfer me to Salt Lake or the Murry Heart and Lung Institute, I can watch the show if I'm alert and not in a coma. When it was announced that Steve Irwin died and then I watched the strength that Terry and Bindi showed during his service, I was in tears and blown away. I loved it when she came on the show and in my opinion, she was genuine and it seemed like it was a time of healing for her and at the same time for the world. For those who watched the memorial service and what happened, for myself, it did my heart good to seeing her find happiness and love. I won't ever forget the Footprints in the Sand dance. I'm going to go back and re-watch that. I know I will be in tears since i have always been when re-watching it. When the dancers and the audience was watching it in real time. I doubt there was a dry eye in the audience.
I love that you make your dances about your partner, not about you! DWTS Legend!

Can you please do another video like this, discussing your top 5 -10 fave routines you have done on the show? Loved the performance you two did recently, was sooo smooth like butter. 😊
This is such a good idea!!
Do two: one with pros and one with celebs
Any tango. Truly love
Yes, please do more of these videos! 😁
Derek, it was so cool looking back at those amazing performances. You definitely set the bar high for freestyles. The Kellie Pickler routine was so good. Watching that at home, I remember the expressions on the audiences faces after that routine. They were ALL in shock!! I was as well-lol. Nice to hear you talk about it as I always wondered how you felt after that number because it was groundbreaking for DWTS. Your ideas and creativity are what ignited the show and took it to another level. Eventually being the 1st pro to win a Choreography Emmy for DWTS... Way to go Derek!! You should be soooo proud! Hayley's kinda beaming too, nice..
So true. I remember watching it live as well and just being transported.
Can never re-watch your DWTS performances too much, Derek. You are phenomenal!! I was at one of your shows in St Louis. Could barely sit still. You're second to none in choreography! Am enjoying you as a judge this season but the cherry on top was when you and Haley performed! Perfection!

3 excellent routines! I love Amber's showmanship, Shawn's spice but my favorite is the elegance and vulnerability of you and Kellie. #1 for sure!

You are the most adorable couple on this planet! Soo talented, sweet, natural and extremely GORGEOUS! You both deserve each other! I am a very big fan of you both! Best dancers ever! ❤️❤️
This is when Dancing With the Stars was GREAT.
Dance with you and Kellie Pickler - one of my all time favorites. I can watch this forever. Derek, you are the best pro dancer ever.
Derek, you are the best dancer of the show EVER! You are and your sister are just the best and know how to treat others. I love how your past partners speak so kindly of you. My daughter and I have been dying to see one of your shows and have not been successful yet..... please let us all know when you will be back on the road.
Literally one of my fav performances ever
You should do a video of some of the dances you and haley have done.
Derek is by far the best dancer ever on the show. I’d want him as my partner or I wouldn’t do it. Love him.
Goodness your such a great dancer and you always make all your partners look great.
Loving these reflection videos! And hearing about the behind the scenes of DWTS and SYTYCD. More please :)

And the Riley Freestyle!! Loved it!! Bindi’s freestyle was also excellent!!
I love that, even with limited time to turn out routines, Derek doesn't pooh-pooh his pupil's contributions but rather embraces and incorporates them and uses them to expand himself.🖒
Derek you really have the right attitude to be a fun actor as well.....
I know Derek will probably never see this comment but he is one of my favorite pros of all time on and off DWTS. My first full season watching DWTS was season 10 with him and Nicole Scherzinger and I have not stopped watching since. From Nicole to Jennifer Grey to Ricki Lake to Maria Menounos to Shawn Johnson to Kellie Pickler to Amber Riley to Amy Purdy to Bethany Mota to Nastia Liukin to Bindi Irwin to Marilu Henner you have brought Incredible choreography and professionalism to the Ballroom. Cheers to your genius Derek 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤❤❤❤
The Amber & Derek season will be one of my favorite of favorites forever!!! 💜💜 You've always been my fav dance partner/coach Derek! Miss seeing you dance but I have enjoyed seeing you as a judge this season!! 😎 p.s. Y'all are such a cute couple 🥰🥰🥰🥰
That freestyle to Beneath your beautiful introduced me to that song...perfect song for an unforgettable finale. Thanks for always pushing yourself to create, teach and inspire.
Derek just LOVES dance...tnx guys
Your freestyle with Amber is *CHEFS KISS*
Love you Derek. You were always my fav pro and your the best. You brought out the best in all your partners. You should be proud...
You are an amazing judge Derek!!! You give the best critique and always try to help!!
Derek, all your routines are amazing! You are one of the best choreographer/dancers out there and you definitely inspire me!
love love love these reflections, and totally missed you over the last few years on DWTS. Dereck if I had one minute in my life to dance with anyone it would be you I would ask for

I WAS LITERALLY WATCHING THE FREESTYLE WITH AMBER YESTERDAY !!!!!!! LOOOOOVE YOUR ROUTINES !!! Sending love all the way from Brasil !! 🇧🇷👏🏻💙
All breathtaking
Derek, You and Kelly were my fav. You both were awesome. Watching this dance almost brought tears to my eyes...
Have never missed an episode of Dancing with the Stars because of Derek. He is the Absolutely the best most creative dancer I have ever watched. He is also a genuinely nice young man.
My most memorable dance between Derek and Kellie was the Argentine Tango... The red screen and black silhouettes were beautiful and magical!
OMG I love both of you sooooooo much you are perfect for each other. One of my dreams came true last year I finally saw Derek in his show last year in NYC at the Beacon theatre, needless to say he was fantastic. I enjoyed the dance you both did on DWTS and look forward to this Monday for your next number............🤗🇨🇦
I’ve been waiting for him to talk about Amber for so long 🤣
same😭
I skipped to Amber’s part ngl!
Your performance was amazing Derek.. So glad you are back on DWTS...
I’m the person who loves all the extras on a DVD 📀. So these commentary videos are fantastic fun for me, hope you do more!!! Thanks for sharing yourselves with us.
Derek talking about how he would work with the band last minute but just envision those changes in his mind just proves that he’s a genius. Truly the most creative mind of our lifetime ❤
Love you Derek! Handsome, brilliant and humble. Your personality is more impressive than you talent. I met you once in Beverly Hills after an event with your sister. We took the worst picture ever.....:( ...but I still treasure it:) Congratulations on your engagement! You both be very happy!
Your time on DWTS as a pro was such an incredible showcase of your talent because you proved you could win by teaching and mentoring a partner of any age, size, or background/experience. Well done. I miss your level of dedication and creativity on the show but I’ve also really enjoyed seeing you as a judge giving real critiques and in such a positive, passionate manner because you really want to help these people succeed and not put them down or discourage them. Keep these videos coming because I love hearing the commentary and reliving these moments. ☺️
Watching you dance Derek is pure JOY!! Makes me smile and feel happy. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us.!!
I LOVED this episode! It's always fun to watch your reactions to your own performances and this one featured my all-time favorite DWTS routine, Derek & Kellie's freestyle. Nothing will ever touch the genius of Derek's choreography and Kellie's artistry. Absolutely breathtaking.
That was my fav dance jelly pickler that was besutiful ! Also Jennifer grey 2 of my fav seasons my fav song beneath your beautiful!
Idc what you say but Derek and Bindi's every breath you take is the best for me because it sooo smooth, its so emotional its so flawless. 😍
The performance with Kelly Pickler was one of my favorite dances.
His dancing on the last night of DWTS was the greatest dancing of the whole season..so awesome!!!!

Yess! love these and Amber and your's freestyle is one of my favorites!
Where did you come from Derek ? I only just discovered you
I am a retired jazz dancer , and a harsh critique . I was in awe watching you the first few times ! In total awe at your moves , talent zest spirit
Impressed
EXCUSE ME WITH THIS KELLIE PICKLER DANCE!!!!?!?! So beyond unbelievable.
I'm surprised you didn’t talk about Bindi Irwin!
YES, I go back and watch those routines all the time. They're so special ❤️
I came to the comments first to see if they were going to cover Bindi's dance. I have always watched off and on during the seasons. When Bindi was his partner, I watched every show. For me it was such a healing moment and transition that she went through.
Derek, your performance on the DWTS finale tonight wss fantastic!
I have watched DWTS since the beginning, and that dance with you and Kellie remains my all time favorite dance...ever!
Such amazing performances by both of you on DWTS! Derek, you are a great judge and coach. Super awesome dancer!!!
I actually watch you and Amber's routine over and over till this day. That when I said I want to dance with Derek. Been following you every since.
Wow those were awesome! Due to my work schedule I was unable to watch the show so when you go back to your favorite dances it's a real treat for me.
Fun to go down memory lane. I have not missed a season of DWTS. Still miss Mark and Julieanne. Would love to see you dancing with Hayley. 😃🇨🇦🙋🏻♀️

Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.
Thank for sharing this with me Derek. That was one of my most favorite dance y’all did. It was so very beautiful.
That quickstep with Shawn is also where the falling back onto the crash mats at the top of the stage was invented.

Musicality is literally my favorite part! Derek your musicality is amazing! I love when the band director chooses music with drum solos, especially when the arrangement has swing styles. I’ve had to choose music before, I couldn’t imagine doing that every week!
GREAT choreography Derek I remember watching that but I can’t believe it was seven years ago. It was beautiful♥️‼️
You have shown 2 of my favorites! I loved watching you teach, loved watching you dance and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a routine of yours I didn’t like. ❤️

I miss these moments . Great memories . I love how all your partners progress with you , I was always amazed by that
Just got goosebumps!!!!
OMG Derek, you and Kelly were killer on the dance floor!! I'm so happy that you shared this with everyone including Hayley.
Oh man, I still remember watching the Beneath Your Beautiful performance for the first time. I must have replayed it 10 times. SO GOOD.
Hats off to this couple! Can you fathom how secure in your relationship you would have to be to not be constantly jealous? So awesome!
Always great to watch. Enjoy the choices of moves that make sense for both performance and competition. I used to look forward to the Tango each and every time.
I remember this performance so well. It was so impactful and went to DWTS history
Loved this! Would love if y’all reacted to more of Derek’s dwts routines throughout the seasons. Such a legend
Mr. Hough! You and Julianne took it to another level during your time on Dancing With The Stars. Watching your choreography and the level of your artistry of dance was definitely THE highlight of each season you competed in. I had most of your dances taped on my cable box DVR. I was devastated when the box crashed but have recently discovered UA-cam and have been searching for my favorite dances of yours. Your Fusion Quick Step Samba with Amber Riley was sooooo tight! I could list many other favorites as I watched every season you competed and pretty much stopped watching after you won with Bindi Irwin. Just wow! It's a beautiful thing to see a person fulfill their purpose for being on the planet and I believe that is what you have done. You've been inspirational. I haven't been keeping up with current events but you and Ms. Erbert make a super cute couple! Respect!
ALSO, I have been obsessed with Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard's Dark Knight Trilogy soundtrack. Are you familiar with it and have you ever danced to any of it? There is so much material for your genius interpretation into movement. If you ever go on tour again, you should consider doing something from it. Stand outs for me are the tracks named Eptesecus - especially the second part (you'll know it when you hear it) and Bane's Theme / Gotham's Reckoning / Deshi Basara is another. I can imagine you choreographing / performing a Paso Doble to Bane's theme. The soundtrack is EPIC and I've been loving watching live performances of the tracks on UA-cam.
I don't know if you will ever read this but if you do, just know that even though I am not a dancer, I have still been inspired by your performances to pursue other creative outlets. You've put out good energy into the universe! Thank you so much and stay safe!
LOVE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO. SO LUCKY TO HAVE ONE ANOTHER. GOD BLESS THE BOTH OF YOU.
Fantastic performances!

I could watch your routines all day! Your finale dance last season was the only part I tuned in for! I hope you do more videos like this!
I remember vividly watching live the night of the Kellie/Beneath Your Beautiful finale. I wept. Breathtaking.
Holy shit Derek !!!! What a great way to end this years DWTS !!! My God this was so up your alley with all the energy you have ,,,,,shit ! You are not human and I love you to pieces !!!! I am floored astounded and my mouth has not closed 😁I love you both to pieces !! Hayley don't know how you do it, but damn girl, you're having a ball with Derek 😘🤗😁😘
Amber was absolutely amazing on the show.
Loved all these dances and how you pushed the boundaries!!!
Excuse me...I just absolutely love them! The talent from both of them is unreal! ❤️❤️
Love your dances with Nicole Scherzinger, your whole season with Bindi😍also Amy Purdy, Jennifer Grey. Can you do a video where you reflect to those times?❤️
This definitely needs a sequel.☺
I wish he could put together a dvd of all of his dances on DWTS. I would be first in line to buy it.
@@lynncraig3005 Agreed!
I LOVE WATCHING THESE!!! Takes me back to the good ole days 😍💭
My heart is exploding from watching that insanely incredible dance with Derek and Kellie!
Derek, there are 2 competitive performances that instantly come to mind when I think of your tenure on DWTS. Number 1: finale dance with Kellie and Number 2: Footprints in the sand with Bindi. Both of them were absolutely stunning. Also, I LOVED Unsteady and Elastic Heart with Julianne. You guys are so incredible together. Unsteady always makes me cry.
