Although some may think that Julianne Hough just happened to ballroom dance out of her mother’s womb, that’s not the case. Sure, she must’ve had some sort of natural dancing talent, but she definitely worked hard to be as good as she is now.

Since childhood, Julianne Hough and her brother Derek Hough trained at the Center Stage Performing Arts Studio in Orem, Utah. She started competing at the age of nine.

She took her dancing to next level when she moved to London to train. And while she was working on her moves, she also went on to train her in singing and gymnastics.
