It was lucky No. 13 in more ways than one for Derek Hough. The three-time Emmy winner received his record-breaking 13th choreography nomination for his show-stopping routine to Michael Bublé‘s “Higher” on “Dancing with the Stars,” surpassing Debbie Allen as the most nominated choreographer in Emmy history. He found out via a phone call in bed and then his whole life started “flashing before my eyes” of all the blood, sweet, tears and “thousands and thousands of hours” he had put into dance since he was a kid.
“Choreographing was never something I thought about doing or being,” Hough tells Gold Derby (watch the exclusive video interview above). “I don’t know what it’s like now, but when I was choreographing, there was no classes of like, ‘This is how you choreograph. You do this, you do that.’ There was no education of it except for just experience. So...
