Emmy Award-winner Julianne Hough is a true triple-threat-an internationally beloved dancer, actress, singer, and entrepreneur whose career spans film, television, stage, and music. A born entertainer, Julianne first captured hearts as a two-time champion on ABC's Dancing With the Stars, becoming the youngest pro to win the competition twice. She later returned as a fan-favorite judge (2014-2017) and now co-hosts the ratings hit alongside Alfonso Ribeiro, with her third season kicking off in fall 2025.
Julianne quickly made a seamless leap from ballroom to big screen, starring in Burlesque opposite Cher, the Footloose remake, Rock of Ages, Safe Haven, and Diablo Cody's Paradise. She dazzled live audiences as Sandy in FOX's Emmy-winning Grease Live! and took to Broadway in 2022 in Selina Fillinger's sharp political comedy POTUS. In 2026, Julianne will return to film in Maggie Gyllenhaal's highly anticipated The Bride.
Dance remains at the heart of everything Julianne creates. In 2020, she launched KINRGY, a movement and wellness platform designed to unlock self-expression through dance, energy work, and choreography. After building a passionate global digital community, KINRGY opened its flagship studio in West Hollywood in 2024. Julianne additionally co-founded Ovation with her brother Derek Hough and DanceOne, an innovative dance convention and competition that will tour major U.S. cities and formally launch in 2026. Mentoring young performers has long been a personal mission for Julianne, and Ovation brings that vision to life.
Julianne is also a national best-selling author. Her debut novel Everything We Never Knew, co-written with Ellen Goodlett (Rule), was released in 2024 in partnership with Temple Hill Entertainment. The story - centered on a woman embracing her power against all odds - draws inspiration from Julianne's own life and emotional journey.
A powerhouse in the music world as well, Julianne's 2008 self-titled country album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country chart and #3 on the Billboard 200, earning her two Academy of Country Music Awards for Top New Female Vocalist and Top New Artist. She plans to return to music with new releases in 2026.
Whether she's on stage, on screen, or building new platforms for self-expression, Julianne Hough continues to lead with heart, movement, and the unshakable belief in the power of transformation.
