“Dancing With the Stars” pro-turned-judge Derek Hough and Grammy-winning singer Michael Bublé are partnering for a new dance competition. Here’s what you need to know:
Bublé & Hough Are So Excited to Showcase Talented Dancers
These two entertainers announced on Instagram in mid-September that they are running a dance competition for any dancer of any age and skill level. All you have to do is choreograph a dance to Buble’s new song “Higher,” the music video for which Hough directed earlier this year.
In the video posted to Instagram, Bublé explained:
Attention all dancers, I’m Michael Bublé — singer, songwriter and dancer. OK, maybe not so much the last one. But I am participating and partnering with my buddy Derek Hough on a national dance competition. Why, you might ask? Well, let me tell you. This fall, “Dancing With the Stars” is hosting a Michael Bublé week and I will be singing all of the performances and they’ll all be set to my music, which is a whole lot of Michael Bublé. I’m here for it.
And then I thought to myself, “Self, how can I increase the level of Bublé even more?” And that’s when my buddy Derek suggested a dance competition that anybody can enter. Any skill level, any age. All you have to do is choreograph a dance number to my song “Higher,” which is just off my new album of the same name.
