Dancing With the Stars just got a little more lackluster as one of the dancing pros is reportedly on his way out. It is being reported that Derek Hough is about to unlace his dancing shoes and take a leave from the show during its upcoming 20th season. The pro will be absent from the series for the spring season as he is following his other passions.
According to E! News, the star is getting ready to star opposite Laura Benanti in a production put on by Radio City Music Hall called the New York Spring Spectacular. Also set to star in the show are the voices of Whoopi Goldberg, Bella Thorne, and of course, the world famous Rockettes.
The star released a statement about his excitement for this new project, saying it's unlike anything fans have seen him in before.
"I am ecstatic that I'll be able to extend my passion for performing to the Great Stage of Radio City Music Hall in New York Spring Spectacular," Derek explained in a statement via People magazine. "Performing at Radio City Music Hall in a show that celebrates everything that is beloved about New York City is a dream. I can't wait to show fans this production... It's going to be like nothing they've seen me in before."
This isn't the five-time mirror ball trophy winner's first time sitting out a season of the popular reality show, he also took some time off during the show's 12th season.
It seems like more and more stars are leaving the series in the recent months, as Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Cheryl Burke, and judge Len Goodman are all saying farewell to the ballroom to pursue other passions.
However, the good news is Derek is most likely to come back for the fall season as the Radio City show is only scheduled for a seven-week run.
