According to Derek and Julianne, "No matter where we go in the world, the question we hear most from people is 'when are you going to do something together?' We feel that everything we've done up to this point has led us to creating this show and we can't wait to share it with our fans." The "Dancing With the Stars" champions conceived the show, which they are staging with Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo (Nappytabs), best known for their Emmy Award-winning choreography on "So You Think You Can Dance." "We're so thrilled to be working with Nappytabs - their creative energy is perfectly aligned with ours and we couldn't dream of better partners to bring MOVE LIVE ON TOUR to life."

The pair, both of whom are also accomplished singers and musicians, promise musical surprises and special guest appearances in a show they describe as "a cross between a Broadway spectacular and the hippest, coolest dance party you've ever been to." The Houghs and their MOVE LIVE ON TOUR troupe will also be going into local communities on the tour to engage local dance groups and non-profit organizations to include them in the whole "MOVE" experience in fun and unique ways, in order to encourage and celebrate dance.
