Derek Hough Tries to Dance Off Beat

[@rggiii5089]

Why is Derek's off beat dancing still looks better than my actual dancing?

[@lydiaprysak4043]

I

[@alvarojneto]

I didn't even know who he was, but I could tell by his trying to dance badly that he is an amazing dancer. Turns out he's a pro.

[@flala2261]

Ikr!?🤦🏻‍♀️

[@ravenpurple1527]

Hahahahaha same

[@kclopez961]

🤦 because he is a choreographer

[@kimberlysinthavong1660]

His legs moved so fast

[@justmemadison]

You should pull up a video of him doing a tribute to Michael Jackson...it's really good -- he's really good.

[@kimberlysinthavong1660]

justmemadison thanks I will!

[@Michelle-gg7hn]

Even off beat he's an amazing dancer.

[@astridjohnson965]

Only Derek can make that look good

[@kennyhenry4039]

I don't know why but he charms the pants off me every time lol

[@gunnyking7890]

I think he's a good dancer and choreographer, but he is starting to be very arrogant. So the charm part is missing for me now

[@zazzy6758]

Gunny King arrogant how? Because he knows he good?

[@rubyrwby7559]

@@gunnyking7890 he's not arrogant at all, he's confident and it's unfortunate that you can't recognize that >_

[@metalspy]

He looks like an Combination of Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth

[@elizabethancheril2924]

KaY0otik HE DOES

[@mohadeseh9736]

KaY0otik +Leonardo DiCaprio

[@TurtleTitan4Evah]

KaY0otik YES!! You described it perfectly, it was actually bugging me because he looked familiar but I couldn't decide who he reminded me of

[@ravenpurple1527]

omg yes he does

[@MegaMarie]

I thought Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. But I totally see Chris Hemsworth. So hot lol

[@husniyyahakhtab6464]

Lol! Derek Hough is such a great dancer that he can't fake it

[@tnh0820]

Britney Tan That's the point of the off beat dancing I suppose

[@chloew904]

I don't know if people understand how hard it is to purposely dance/play/anything musical off the beat if it's ingrained into your brain. It's the most unnatural thing in the world. It's kinda like if you've ever written anything upside down. It's doable but it's weird and you really have to think about it.

[@dudleyred267]

Yeah, funny you mentioned that cause I tried it earlier today and that was the weirdest thing I’ve ever experienced, it was like trying to look left and right at the same time

[@justmy2cents378]

Derek is one of the best Choreographers and Dancers around.

[@MeredithHagan]

I saw the Hough siblings' live show a few months ago and it was amazing! They are astounding performers.

[@dianoraferrara4867]

He's hot and handsome🔥🔥

[@jordanloving847]

Wait till you see him shirtless at the beach 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dianoraferrara4867]

HAHA I'd simply DIE 😜😜

[@sweetcrimson]

Not that I have a shot but I wonder what team he bats on ? 😆

[@upclose22]

So funny. Derek is always doing this type of off time dancing on his Instagram.. Fun to see him & Jimmy do it!! He's such an incredibly talented and down to earth guy.. One of the best dancers I've ever seen. It must be difficult to dance like that because they both were out of breath😂😂 😂 Maybe the next time he comes on the show, Jimmy will challenge him to a dance off or lip synch battle 🎶👏💕💃😂

[@BubbleGumzKorner]

Even his offbeat is on beat

[@annahkreyling-hoag8068]

His off beat dancing is still better than mine will ever be

[@NasAfter]

This guy is the definition of confusion Cuz he looks for anyone that doesn't know him like a douchebag but in reality he's the sweetest

[@chloevega5711]

I just can’t. Derek is my favorite person on this planet.

[@denish1]

Didn't realize how much he and his sister look alike til seeing him here for some reason

[@NellieKAdaba]

Denisha Kirk Nice

[@ThePeaceandsmiles]

This is called " Dad Dancing at the barbecue"

[@dancinwithmyself3974]

LOL "I've never been on your show Jimmy"

[@Samy.10VE]

I love him so much! He's incredibly talented dancer, singer, actor even his art is amazing! Really underrated in my opinion and I miss his dancing 😩 plus he's beautiful and his smile is infectious 😊😍❤️

[@upclose22]

Shahida SterolineRKBieberMC So underrated. Looking forward to his solo tour though. He’s got an amazing career ahead of him👏👏

[@IgnoreMePleaseImBeggingU]

You know you’re a great dancer when you can dance off beat so well

[@Jaknize1]

And over here we have Jimmy Fallon Doing his Billy Cosby Impersonation lol

[@jmellothagreat131]

His bad dancing looks better than most people's real dancing.

[@JadesOfficial]

Damn his off beat dancing is still really good. XD

[@BarberM]

Come on Derek that's me all the time dancing! Lol

[@mydragonfly210]

He's adorable!

[@my2cents2u]

Who else thought of Elaine as soon as he started dancing. (I'm so old!) lolol

[@mohadeseh9736]

I have a huge crush on Derek 😩♥️

[@torim2254]

“I am so out of shape” THAT HIT CLOSE TO HOME

[@zhangzehao3320]

he is long faced version of Chris Hemsworth

[@ciram9082]

Zhang Zehao I usually think of him as thinned eyebrow Chris Pine

[@morief1]

oooohh no you didnt

[@madisilver460]

RamCyrus lol

[@ardenmartini5394]

He is the child of Leonardo DiCaprio and Chris Pine

[@stevenhayes859]

He's also a version of porn star Erik Everhard.

[@jessicarenfrow5962]

My phones video is not synced to the audio so he was actually on beat LOL

[@greenbeagle13]

Can any one human being be so perfect as Derek Hough?

[@lmart77lm]

This makes me think of that one Seinfeld episode when Elaine Benis starts to dance. LOL

[@wilbeugre]

That's more close to impossible than difficult to do it on purpose 😮😮

[@jordanloving847]

Derek Hough is such a good looking man I mean he is so adorable and cute I love him so much 😭❤️

[@monicatriana2360]

I love this guys!!!

[@AsheleyLaf]

I lost it once jimmy joined in like wyd 😂😭💀

[@florencerose5706]

Pigeons?! Is it normal for Americans to have pigeons at their wedding?! In NZ they are kind of seen as flying rats hahaha.

[@kaytan8409]

Florence Rose it's absolutely NOT normal lol I'm sure he meant doves, not pigeons

[@missitoldyousooo1931]

You know he ment doves smart ass!

[@florencerose5706]

Oh, cool! Thanks for the info!

[@chrisbeatty743]

Doves are pigeons. True pigeons are actually a game bird that is a large version of the dove. City pigeons are domesticated however and are disgusting

[@crosswind76]

or White pigeons. We live near many churches and farm ranches. Someone released white pigeons somewhere around here, becuz they hang around our HOA pond, on church rooftop etc. i took photos when they landed on a side street -- def *white pigeons*.

[@caligal1090]

his dancing omggg

[@MrWestCoastKid]

the legwork kinda reminds me of james brown moves

[@ravenaustin4357]

Lol when his off beat bad dancing is still soooo good.....

[@GabrielaSilva-ez3so]

*Lindooo, dançou tudo!*

[@jennyc297]

The dance looks like that SNL skit with Emma stone where they're in some café

[@leticiasoto53]

[@christandme1372]

Jimmy's got a lot of soul. Even his bad dancing is good. Love whenever he sings too!
