-Are you hurt? -no, I'm just so scared Hahaha I loved this video, Nastia is the best.

[@salaaniko]

Derek learned a full in one afternoon, and it only took me like 8 years. Way to gooooooo! lol

[@ashhar3928]

Sala ann I’m sure he already knew it

[@Jude74]

Well it would only take me a couple visits to Dr. Frankenstein and having my consciousness transmitted to an actual athlete.

[@violetpatina708]

My bf does ballet and he learned a standing back tuck on the floor in about 10 min. I hate him.

[@derekwheeler4299]

Well he has most of the strength he needs from dancing all he needs is the technique. The rest of us need to build up strength while learning technique.

[@icarrus4u]

I know! It wasn't bad either!

[@heathernewbold406]

I’ve always been super impressed with gymnasts, but this increases my respect. Those flips already look difficult, but you can see that landing them gracefully is another element to master.

[@LifeinMotionwithDerekHough]

Trust me it is way harder than it looks!

[@Just999Me]

right? that's the lesson learned. Gymnasts are beasts that manage to look like princesses on the beam/bar/floor. That's harder than anything else. Making these crazy moves seem easy and graceful. They've always had my respect. Personally barely managed to stay alive in pre-k & first grade aerobics/gymnastics classes, i'm not disciplined enough to do any of the things Derek just pulled off.

[@queeng508]

@@Just999Me i think this is one of those sports that looks easy because people smile or dance, just like figure skating or ballet, while it is probably one of the most demanding

[@erinvaughn3739]

Derek has the Soul of a Worrier and the Spirit of a teenager ! 💖💖🙏🙏

[@RobertJohnson-hx7bk]

@D Leo stfu!!

[@maria_elena_2659]

Erin Vaughn Does he worry a lot? 😊

[@Elong.]

I think Derek really would have made a great gymnast. Nastia still has all her skills! Her Onodi was 😍

[@MsStina84]

If he was focused he would have done much better than this.

[@Elong.]

Stina Palm he learned an Arabian and a full off the beam, that’s impressive.

[@julio_shania]

Yeah, she did it so easily and gracefully hahahaha love this skill

[@helenhypnotic7625]

‘No Nastia, I have to do it like you’ 🤣🤣🤣

This is epic 😂😂😂 the tricks that he randomly decided to throw and Nastia’s reactions. Just everything 😂😂☠️

[@LelandTilden]

*loves Nastia* SO MUCH

[@emmamcguire6441]

this is so fun to watch bc i trained with nastia’s parents for like 6 years in texas, and the way she teaches him is so similar it’s cute

[@destyneefloyd6804]

OMG he looks so adorable when he is trying to be a gymnast his laugh is so cute and you can tell h was enjoying every second of it.I love him so much words can't describe how i feel about him.He is the most energetic person I know.He looks like a cute little kid trying to do gymnastic.Love u Derek forever and always

[@tarantulabunnydog]

*Derek proudly tip toes off of the beam after one pass* Nastia: “No, no no. You don’t get off” 😂😂😂😂

[@FlagCutie]

I am so glad your parents put you in dance classes Derek! Mostly because you're one of my favorite pros, and after this because you needed that outlet for your energy so your parents could keep their sanity lol.

[@loveballetmuch]

Nastia: Do an Onodi. Derek: **does an Arabian** 😂😂😂

[@JennaLeigh]

I've ALWAYS loved watching Nastia perform. She just looks so beautiful and fluid--- she has always made the most intricate skills look so simple and effortless, which is the epitome of being great at something. The Onodi is a fave skill of mine, love seeing Nastia do it! Derek did SO great at everything! Wow!

[@abiw7747]

I would love to see you try and skate with Meryl and Charlie!

[@Imabigpain]

Yes! That would be cool one... they can teach him to ice skate.

[@dvorahmariscal7963]

As a former skater, I would love that too!

[@maliaharwood]

I agree ice dancing definitely!

[@MsStina84]

Good idea, he helped create one of their olympic routines so that makes it even more interesting.

[@maria_elena_2659]

Yes!

[@Rodviet]

I never knew I needed this "show" in my life. It's so much fun! Derek should host his own tv show, he has such a wonderful and cheerful personality

[@matthewkretschmer7010]

Interesting and amazing to see Derek Hough doing gymnastics and that he's doing it with his Dancing with the Star's gymnastics dance partner Nastia Liukin.

[@andrew5heller]

Nasia gives such great advice you can mentally visualize. And i was so surprised at how well Derek did! It may seem so easy to do when you’re watch, but flipping and twisting simultaneously is pretty damn difficult !

[@soulaesthete8563]

Hahahaha!!! That was so fun to watch!! Derek is hilarious (and a quick learner too) and Nastia is a perfect teacher!

[@LifeinMotionwithDerekHough]

Thank you! 💪So glad you enjoyed watching.

[@greenvortex7]

As a former (child/teen) gymnast and adult professional (modern/ballet) dancer - this was soooo wondrously entertaining to watch! The energy you two have was real and you brought so much joy and laughter throughout the video. And many of the tricks you did were amazing. True about dancing and visual learning. I could see even with just a few more lessons you could definitely stick really get some of the moves and perhaps incorporate into some dancing. Great form...great fun...and commitment. You bring joy and light to all the moments you present and it never feels manufactured whether on DWTS or World of Dance. Thank you for sharing and shining your light for the world...the Universe to witness - all in joy and passion. Keep shining and shaking the Universe.

[@vabanknine8417]

Nastia , you are the most beautiful American gymnastic we have ever seen .My whole family just loves to watch you. Good luck with your life.

[@Nonnie335]

I would love to see you do a full day of ballet training at Ballet West! I know you are a dancer but ballet is so different from what you do.

[@nafseltaeb]

I'm pretty sure Derek knows ballet

[@susannalung3150]

Most dancers start off in ballet, and go into different genres after they mastered the technique portion of dance.

[@popinfresh]

I can guarantee Derek is very capable of doing ballet lol

[@taylorharvey6091]

Nonnie335 That’s what he started out in lmao

[@blackwidow4564]

He can do ballet and tap too.

[@rose1074]

I hope you and Nastia are still fitness. Had so much fun watching this video and seeing both of your laughter

[@Nolakuer]

omg didn't know Derek had a channel but so glad I found it! xx

[@LORRAINEM1965]

He just started it.

[@troubler2115]

Same, he is fun. With all the caos in the world this is relaxing to watch.

[@amioffenbacher-ferris8148]

I can’t even imagine doing what either of them do. I have been physically ugly my entire life, (warm, loving heart) uncoordinated and usually ill. Watching these two to me, is like watching two heavenly angels in motion. Thank you.

[@lauraklaverkamp4780]

Nastia's lines 😍 she still got it

[@dastuffster150]

Derek seems so silly, I'm happy to see you less tense. On dancing with the stars you always seemed a lil stressed. It's a true pleasure to always watch you doing what you love. Thanks for the laughs this was so fun to watch

MORE NASTIA AND DEREK!!!!!

[@kyledmacdonald-2115]

This is really entertaining. You are hilarious and talented and I love you and Nastia's friendship. I love this video and I can't wait to see more.

[@suethompson9348]

Loved this Derek. You are so down to earth and never mind showing your human side. You would be perfection in this if you two worked together for hours every day just like she was perfection on the dance floor after your coaching. She should have won. I thank you for so generously sharing your life with your adoring fans. You are an amazing human being. Can’t wait until another Life in Motion video. Keep them coming. It does not matter what you do on these since we love seeing anything you do. By the way, your sense of humor is so enjoyable.

[@ThriftedLiving]

This was such a fun video!!! Thanks for sharing the fun!

[@dudydaulay4165]

[@mylifejustinbieber3]

Ah my two favs. This video was golden. Also, peep Miss Val in the back

[@LifeinMotionwithDerekHough]

thank you!

[@cannonrange9977]

He is such a good sport for doing this. I really applaud him, it's very down to earth seeing very talented and skilled people try things outside their comfort zones candidly. It's brave, I think moreso than someone who isn't famous/well-known for anything because we have no fame to uphold, no pedestals to potentially shorten. I hope he keeps on being precisely this: passionate, curious, brave, and moving forward.

[@vlcmbabe29]

Love you two together! This was so entertaining, I didn’t want it to end. Now I kinda want to see you do it with Shawn too! Just like, different tricks & stuff. 👌🏼💙

[@LifeinMotionwithDerekHough]

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it.

[@smartsoul4683]

Yes please, another one with Shawn, or better with both 😂

[@sofialloret7476]

It’s crazy that he can so easily transfer his past training to gymnastics and so easily doing something so difficult

Getting your period wouldn't be fun tho

[@ayoolaolushola]

Joe Kinchicken you are so wrong. Jessica would look beautiful in anything that she wears.

[@meangirlbecca]

You did really well!! I was amazed. I know Nastia showed the most basic skills and moves but I seriously doubt I could even do a flip, let alone throw a twist in there. I'd be too afraid of breaking my neck or landing on the wrong body part or something haha.

[@Morgan_matthews]

I was a gymnast when I was younger so this brought me so much joy and nostalgia! Can’t wait to see what you try next! Maybe aerial silks/pole dancing :) there are circus schools in the LA area my friends attend.

[@aldelga1]

or lyra!

[@dale4908]

Yes pole dancing - check out Peter holoda on intragram - he is amazing

[@annparkes4880]

The Flip Side With Morgan , Where are the gym centers in LA, thanks for asking this ?💫

[@jrg305]

Nastia teaching basics is very helpful. I wish she was my coach

[@Lanashmeyshmey]

Nastia is a goddess!! I've been obsessed with her for so long, she is the most graceful gymnast I've ever seen. This video is so fun!

[@hs489242]

This is the funniest thing I've seen all day!!

[@mckensiechancellor6029]

There needs to be a part two! I loved this and laughed right along with them!

Aww, I loved the little snippet of Miss Val watching @ 13:07 💕

[@beautifulsoulxxx]

LOVE this video! So much fun and so funny! Loved your partnership on DWTS and love seeing you again here in Nastia's world! :) I'd also love to see you collaborate with Shawn - she has her own KZbin channel too! And it would be amazing if you could have a video visiting the Australian Zoo with Bindi showing you all the animals... I would absolutely love it! :D

[@shevahSamuel]

This was great! Derek you are such a well rounded talented person (music, dance, gymnastics and you seem to be a nice guy 😀). Love your routines on DWTS.

[@rickywd3683]

If anyone is wondering, an Onodi is named after the very first gymnast who performed that skill on an Olympics/Worlds stage, Henrietta Onodi of Hungary. Same thing if you've heard about the famous Amanar vault - that was named after Simona Amanar of Romania.

[@BStop22]

Omg, Derek was amazing! You can tell how fit he is since he can do gymnastics with very little instruction.

[@themoonatnight1868]

He’s so fun to watch!!!! Love them together!

[@Sydneyn396]

What the heck I’ve been doing gymnastics for five years and he’s better than me

[@julio_shania]

hahahaha oh c'mon you cannot be this bad hahaha (for the record I can't do a cartwheel or anything at all)

[@nikkidafler]

im in xcel gold and am terrified to throw an arabian on tumble trak, and he just outta nowhere does it on floor! like dEREK!!1!1! teach me ur ways!!! 😂💕

[@joyfuljaj]

@@nikkidafler he is definitely physicaly talented though with strength and coordination, so he isn't starting from nowhere. Whose to say he didn't take tumbling classes in his younger years? Plus, guys are fearless enough to try anything. Sounds like you are commited to your gymnastics, so think of how you have mastered new skills in the past and you'll get the arabian soon enough. I am a dancer, but always wanted to be able to do back handsprings. I could do basics like cartwheels and backbend kickovers, was never courageous enough to go for it even with back walkovers. I'm now middle aged, so I stick with dancing and leave the tumbling to youngsters.

[@katiejoywilson]

I loved how they kept high diving but did the hold hand thing afterwards

[@ineedhoez]

Yo!!!! I almost died watching this. They were hilarious. No wonder Nastia's bf put a ring on that thing. She and Derek had some chemistry!!!!

[@ThatCanadianGirlPassport]

Omg.. you and Nastia had me in stitches 😂 Awesome job!!
