Derek Hough has transcended the world of competitive dance to become one of entertainment’s most dynamic live performers. The six-time “Dancing with the Stars” champion, Emmy-winning choreographer, and current DWTS judge brings his Symphony of Dance: Encore tour to Albany’s Palace Theatre on July 28, promising an evening that blends world-class dance with live music in one of the Capital Region’s most beautiful historic venues.
Symphony of Dance showcases Hough’s extraordinary range — from ballroom and Latin to contemporary and hip-hop — set against a live musical backdrop that elevates the experience beyond anything a television screen can capture. The show features a company of elite dancers and tells stories through movement with a theatrical ambition that reflects Hough’s Broadway and Las Vegas residency experience.
The Palace Theatre, with its ornate architecture and intimate sightlines, provides a setting worthy of the artistry on display. For Capital Region audiences who appreciate dance, theater, or simply spectacular live entertainment, Derek Hough’s Encore tour represents a rare opportunity to see one of the art form’s biggest stars in an up-close setting. This July show is going to be visually stunning and emotionally resonant in equal measure.
