LAS VEGAS (August 13, 2022) – Saturday morning, Las Vegas headliner Derek Hough, made a surprise visit to the Academy of Nevada Ballet Theatre. The multi-talented entertainer, three-time Emmy Award winner and twelve-time nominee for Best Choreography dropped in on the Teen/Senior Ballet Class taught by Don Bellamy. During the class, Hough danced with the students and spent some time talking with them and answering questions about becoming a professional dancer.
The students, who range in age from 13 to 18 years old, are ballet track students, advanced and intermediate competition team students, and dancers in NBT II, the pre-professional training arm of the Company. The Academy of Nevada Ballet Theatre is currently in the second week of its August session, which is their preparation for the new season beginning Aug. 29.
Hough is currently performing in The Summit Showroom at The Venetian® Resort Las Vegas with his show, Derek Hough: No Limit. The dance-centric show features elements and dance numbers designed specifically for the astounding versatility of The Summit Showroom, and, as always, Derek's magnetic stage presence. Fans journey through a true fusion of dance and music, as Derek explores styles ranging from ballroom and tap to salsa, hip-hop and everything in between.
Performances are held Wednesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. through Saturday, Sept. 17, 2022. Tickets are available for purchase at www.ticketmaster.com/DerekHoughVegas, VenetianLasVegas.com, any box office at The Venetian Resort, or by calling 702.414.9000 or 866.641.7469.
