@derekhough: What an honor to create the opening number for DWTS’s 20th birthday celebration! From paying tribute to the original six pros to honoring Len Goodman and Tom Bergeron, it was pure magic. Huge thanks to every department, lighting, camera, music, costumes, and of course, the incredible dancers who brought it all to life. Special shout-out to my amazing wife @hayley.erbert for being an absolute boss and @chasehaleybowden always a rockstar. Truly a beautiful night thank you all! The legacy of dance continues ❤️ Choreographed by: Derek Hough Associate Choreographers: Hayley Erbert & Chase Haley Bowden Judges @carrieanninaba @derekhough @brunotonioliofficial @tombergeron Hosts @therealalfonsoribeiro @juleshough Director @philheyes DWTS Producers @jnsilverm @greenbritusa @blacknskronger @deena_katz @davidruskey @crossysworld @mabardi @migymigs @qqquinny @annifer31 @jasminelesane @lizzz18 @kaykalbfleisch @taylorbugos @dom_chaiduang @shelbymkeller @j_zogas @theparkerjones @strega.mandi Music Director @raychewlive Costume Designers @stevennormanlee @danielagschwendtner Makeup @zenasgreen & team Hair @cutdrytease & team Art Direction @natachagram Set Decorator @rebeccamariec Lighting Design @insta_mitz & team Graphics Gravity: @falkrosi & @happyneese Special Effects @strictly_fx Stage Management @jrogermelvin & team @Dancing with the Stars #DWTS @Hayley Erbert Hough
