Dancing with the Stars pro and judge, Derek Hough, is incredibly talented, and he sure knows his way around the ballroom! But believe it or not, he still apparently considers himself a work in progress, and he wants to ensure his skills are always in tip-top shape.
In a new Instagram post, Hough revealed a surprising tidbit about his career, which will definitely come as a shock to some.
The post he shared is intended to praise the current USA professional ballroom champion, Liana Bakhtiarova, but he also made an admission about himself.

Yep, he still takes dancing lessons — even though plenty of people also learn from him!
“The learning never stops, especially when you learn from the best.” What a great way to look at life.
Baktiarova also sang Hough’s praises, saying, “Thank you @derekhough ❤️❤️ You are the most humble talented exceptional dancer I know👏🏼👏🏼, one of a kind! Just pure pleasure to work with you! @fuego.dance shoes are 🔥🔥for teaching and practice”
Hough recently also announced his new collaboration with Fuego shoes, which features a line of sneakers meant to go from “studio to stage.”

Hough’s commitment to being the very best at what he does is certainly admirable, and his positive, grateful attitude is something we can all learn from and take to heart.
No matter how good we happen to be at something, there’s always room to improve and grow.
