Feb 1, (THAINDIAN NEWS) All those who kept themselves glued to the television screen, to watch their favorite dancer, Derek Hough tapping his foot in the popular dance based reality show, “Dancing With The Stars”, will now miss the treat. The enthusiastic dancer, who has enabled non dancers like Nicole Scherzinger, Brooke Burke and Jennifer Grey to make a mark in the competition, has announced to quit the show for its next season in March, as he is all set to start his career as an actor in Hollywood.

Derek Hough however said that he will only make the comeback in the fall, as he is just trying to explore his potential in other fields of life as well. He also wants to grow a little more as an artist. He has promised that when he returns, he would be surprising the audiences with more spectacular moves and dance forms. Derek Hough has been assigned to act in the new dance based film, entitled as “Cobu 3D”, that would be released in New York and Toronto in this spring. In the movie, he would be playing a New Orleans based street dancer who comes to New York and falls in love with a drummer of his rival dance team, played by Korean pop star BoA. It is a typical love story, with a predictable story line, but what makes it interesting, it the rich incorporation of dance from all genres.

Derek Hough has said that he is undergoing rigorous training to deliver the best performance in the film. He also added that he has gained about about 10 lbs of muscle for the film. Conrad Green, the executive producer of “Dancing With The Stars” wished him all the best for his future and newly evolving film career. He also wishes him to come back to the show in the fall.
