Derek Houghunited with another pro dancer for a fun improv dance.
On Instagram Monday, theDancing with the Starsjudge shared a video of himself dancing withChelsie Hill— a professional dancer who uses a wheelchair.
“Had the pleasure of meeting @chelsiehill and having a little impromptu freestyle moment,” Hough, 37, captioned a video of the pair dancing in an open studio.
In the video, Hough and Hill, 30, put on a fun performance filled with plenty of spins, and even a wheelchair dip toward the end of the dance number. Though the routine was just for fun and not a real collaboration, there could be room in the future for Hill and Hough to genuinely team up.
“SO FUN! Thanks for dancing with me!” Hill wrote on Hough’s post. “Can’t wait to do it again! There’s so much more we can do 🔥.”
Hill also reflected on the moment on her Instagram Story, explaining how much it meant to her.
“So freakin cool,” she began. “You know, for me. If you guys haven’t watched that video, go watch it. But, I got to dance with Derek today which was so cool because he literally just walked up to me and put his hands out and wanted to dance and freestyle and see what I can do.”
Hill continued, “To me, that made me feel like this person saw me as a dancer and as a person, and not someone who was so different. He was intrigued. He wasn’t scared. I felt like a person today — in a different way. It’s hard to explain, but so cool.”

Concluding her post, Hill wrote: “Just on cloud nine. When you work with a good partner, it’s magic.”
Hill also added that she’d like to see a “full time wheelchair user onDancing with the Stars” someday.
But Hough is also gearing up forthe return ofDancing with the Stars. During the long-running show’s 31st season, it will air live on Disney+ — a historic move for the streamer.
