Amazing Performer
The Theater at MGM National Harbor - National Harbor
I think I have seen Derek Hough at least five times and he ALWAYS amazes me. This time I was lucky enough to bring my 12 year old son and he LOVED every minute of the show. Our seats were great, the venue was great, and of course the show was great. Can't wait for the next one!!

Fantabulous show!
The Theater at MGM National Harbor - National Harbor
This was my 1st time seeing Derek in person; however, it will certainly not be my last. I can't find the words to describe the dancing, showmanship and music displayed at the show. It was breathtaking. I have told many friends everywhere that, they absolutely must see this show if it's anywhere near them. Fantabulous is just one descriptive word.

Bad seating for the money paid
The Theater at MGM National Harbor - National Harbor
Section 3, row h, seats 12 and 13. These seats were over $100 and for manual placed seats with no leg room for tall people were awful. But a price we pay for the seat the obstruction of view of the stage these seats should be eliminated. Or the cost should be only 50 something dollars.

High Energy!
The Theater at MGM National Harbor - National Harbor
Derek is an amazing dancer with tons of energy. The entire cast was amazing. So much so that I’d be happy if they left off the light show and let us enjoy the dancing. The audience loved when the cast came onto the floor. One suggestion I have is that they vary the high intensity with an occasional slower, Gentler dance.

Show wonderful!
The Theater at MGM National Harbor - National Harbor
The show was wonderful! Terrific dancing especially Derek and Hayley! I was at the show at National Harbor and I knew something must be wrong with Hayley when she did not come out at the last dance and performance. So sorry to hear about her medical emergency and surgery. My only complaint was the acoustics were somewhat off especially the base and drums. I was seated in the balcony otherwise the performances were very professional and entertaining. I did not know that Derek could sing that well and play guitar. The other dancers were very good also.
