Julianne Hough
OVATION
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, Julianne has starred in Burlesque, Footloose, Rock of Ages, Safe Haven and Grease Live!—and made her Broadway debut in 2022 in the critically acclaimed POTUS.
Beyond the stage, she founded KINRGY, a movement and wellness platform empowering self-expression through dance. With a flagship studio in West Hollywood and worldwide digital access, KINRGY is growing fast. She also co-founded Ovation, a next-gen dance convention and competition tour, alongside brother Derek Hough and DanceOne.
With several dance-focused projects in the works, Julianne returns to film in 2026 in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride—once again blending movement and storytelling at the highest level.
