Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough, born in 1988, is an American ballroom dancer, country singer, and actress whose star rose on the telly dancing competition "Dancing with the Stars," where she won twice and was hailed by ABC's 20/20 as one of the planet's premier dancers. A sibling rivalry with her brother Derek, a three-time winner on the same show, underscores her family's prominence in the dance world. Hough's transition to music saw her signing with Mercury Nashville Records in 2007, releasing a self-titled album that debuted at number one on the Billboard Country Album chart and sold over 320,000 copies in total. Her holiday collection further cemented her crossover appeal in the music industry.
