The Hough’s will help curate the faculty, technical and commercial workshops, and elite competitions for the next generation of dancers worldwide. The tour is expected to hit major markets across the U.S. in 2025, including Los Angeles, Miami Beach and Dallas, before expanding to international markets in 2026.

“I am so ecstatic we are partnering with DanceOne on bringing this next generation of dance to the forefront,” said Julianne Hough. “This new convention and competition tour will help bring ballroom dancing to so many others around the world. We’re excited to change the face of dance, creating an inventive new set of programs for dancers and those who are new to dance.”

DanceOne is thrilled to be working with these two creative powerhouses on a new and innovative globally-minded tour covering education, entertainment and competition that will further the art and sport that is dance. This tour will provide instruction and inspiration for professional, aspiring and amateur dancers, as well as dance lovers and fans everywhere for years to come.”
