The Hough siblings are promising fans their biggest and best show yet, with brand-new stage production inspired by the elements – earth, wind, fire, and water – which the duo have infused into fresh, high impact choreography that only they can deliver.  The show will bring fans on a journey of dance and music, taking inspiration directly from the four elements as an exploration of the human relationship with nature.  The pair will be joined by the Move Company Dancers for group performances in styles ranging from ballroom and tap to salsa and hip-hop and everything in between.

“There is nothing like performing onstage in front of a live audience and this show is going to be like nothing we’ve done before,” says Julianne.  “For those that have been before or will be experiencing the show for the first time, it will transport them beyond their wildest imaginations and expectations.”
