'Dancing With the Stars' 2015 Cast: Why Is Nastia Liukin Teaching Derek Hough The 'Team Dance' This Week? [VIDEO]
Dancing With the Stars pro Derek Hough has had another hectic week and still hasn't fully learned the "team dance" set to be performed on Monday.

Hough is continuing to perform on Dancing With the Stars as Nastia Liukin's partner while still acting in the New York Spring Spectacular. This was put to the test this week as Hough has yet to learn his team's "team dance" for Monday.
The always busy pro wrote about the craziness of this week in his TVGuide.com blog. Needless to say, he is going to have to learn the dance very quickly.

"We also have the group dance this week and I wish I could tell you how that is going! Nastia and I haven't started at all yet," he admitted. "We picked teams after the show and we're on Team YOLO with Willow [Shields] and Mark [Ballas], Noah [Galloway] and Sharna [Burgess], and Robert [Herjavec] and Kym [Johnson]. We came up with a concept before I had to come back to New York. I had envisioned it starting off with Noah beating on a drum and doing his thing, and then Robert would come in. It was all planned out, and then yesterday afternoon, Mark calls and says they changed the whole concept."
He added, "They're still working it out, so I don't really know the specifics yet. Nastia is leaving tonight, so she will learn it this weekend. I won't learn it until Monday morning! So we'll see what happens. For the first time, Nastia will be teaching me a dance. Fingers crossed!"
Liukin and Hough have solidified themselves as frontrunners at this point in the competition. Starting with a score of 30 out of 40 from the judges, they have steadily improved throughout the season, with their most recent dance scoring a 38 out of 40.
In addition to the team dance, the pair will also be dancing the tango on Monday. It is surely the most hectic week for the duo but their professionalism and dedication to the craft should carry them through.
Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
