Along with Aneta Piotrowska, Hough won the Blackpool U-21 Latin title in 2003 and the WDSF World Latin Championship in 2002. He is the recipient of the New York Dance Alliance Outstanding Dance and LA Outstanding Dancer of the Year awards.

The Outstanding Choreography Emmy Award category was originally relocated to the Primetime Live Show on September 22, 2013, and each nominee collaborated with Neil Patrick Harris, the show’s host, to design and perform a piece.

Along with the other nominees, Hough was included in that number as a Dancing with the Stars nominee.

Quickstep and foxtrot rhythms were essential for Hough’s 2013 collaboration with world-champion ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White on a piece for their 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics short dance routine.

With that dance, Davis and White went on to win the gold medal. Their victory created Olympic history by being the first American team to win an Olympic medal in that particular event.

On March 18, 2014, Hough and his sister Julianne announced “Move Live on Tour,” a summer tour that would take them to over 40 cities in the United States and Canada. The tour would feature dancing and singing by both of them, as well as an appearance by a group of Houghs-hired dancers who were selected through auditions.

The Houghs declared that “Move Live on Tour” would return in the summer of 2015 due to the tour’s success and strong demand. The tour concluded in 2014.

From June 12 to August 8, 2015, more than 40 cities in the United States and Canada were visited by the sold-out tour, which also made more stops at larger venues than the year before.

In week six of season four of Dancing with the Stars, Hough made his debut as a guest instructor with Julianne and Apolo Anton Ohno.

In season five, he then became a member of the professional instructor cast and was paired with Jennie Garth. Hough and Garth placed fourth in the competition after losing in the semifinals.

Hough was matched with actress Shannon Elizabeth for the sixth season. On April 29, 2008, they were removed from the show; they had placed sixth overall.

Hough’s partner for season seven was TV host and model Brooke Burke. On October 4, 2008, during a practice, Hough stumbled and fell, banging his head on the floor, and became temporarily blind.

Although he was taken to the hospital, he was not hurt. November 25, 2008, saw Hough and Burke win season seven and receive the mirror ball trophy.

Hough was matched with rapper Lil’ Kim for season eight. On May 5, 2009, they were removed from the show after placing fifth.

Hough announced his return for season 17 in an interview with Access Hollywood on August 2, 2013. September 4, 2013, saw the announcement of the season 17 cast.

Hough was teamed with paralympic snowboarder Amy Purdy during season 18. The pair finished second in the season finale on May 20, 2014, behind Meryl Davis and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

ABC said on August 13, 2014, that Hough would return for season 19, and in September, the network revealed that he would be paired with popular YouTuber Bethany Mota. The pair advanced to the first night of the championship match and came in fourth.

Despite earlier reports that he wouldn’t be participating in season 20, Hough was revealed on February 24, 2015, as one of the returning professional dancers.

Nastia Liukin, a gymnast, was his companion. They finished in fourth place and advanced to the semi-finals before being eliminated on May 12.

He was paired with Bindi Irwin, a wildlife conservationist, and Steve Irwin’s daughter, for season 21. On November 24, 2015, the couple advanced to the finals and won the competition, giving Hough her sixth victory on the show. Hough did not make a comeback in Season 22.

Season 23 would see Hough return as a professional dancer, it was announced on August 30, 2016. After much conjecture, it was announced on September 8, 2020, that Hough will succeed veteran DWTS judge Len Goodman.

Goodman was unable to return for season 29 because of the travel restrictions imposed during the coronavirus outbreak between the United States and England. Following Goodman’s retirement and passing, he served as a judge once again for the show’s 30th and 31st seasons. In season 32, he was appointed interim chief judge.
