Living in the Spotlight

Meet Elle Hough

Oh! Hello! I'm Isabelle Madison Hough. Hough sounds familiar right? Well, my dad is Derek Bruce Hough, 5 time Mirrorball winner and 2 time Emmy winning choreographer. You've heard about my dad, but, you haven t heard about my mom. My mom is Anastasia Valeryevna Hough or as she's more commonly known, Nastia Hough. She's a gold medalist for gymnastics.

And yes, my dad did chose my name or else, my mom would've chosen something hectic.

Now, that's enough about my parents, it's time you heard a little bit more about me.

I was was born on September 17, 2013 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Growing up, I had great memories with mom and dad. Dad was always at work and he would always bring me with him. Mom was on tour and she would always video chat me.

I do have a sister, if you're wondering, her name is Sena Hough, she's 14.

I've been doing gymnastics my whole life. My specialties are the floor exercise and uneven parallel bars.

Along with gymnastics, I also sing, act, and dance. I do Contemporary, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Tap and Lyrical.

I'm also like my Uncle Valentin because I play the violin, as well as the piano and flute.

We've always been in the media, and it's really hard not to get involved in the rumors. I've traveled a lot. I've been to Australia, London, France, etc.

Now, that's a brief rundown of my life, but, let's get into more specifics.

There you have it, that's me. But, let's find out about all of the other girls.

"Tragedy, Love and Hate will fill up the ballroom, but, hey, what more do you want? Hey guys! We're back with another story. We've decided that we're going to alternate between the two stories each week. For example, one week, we're going to have our minds focused on Behind Them, which is on MissMiaM 's profile, the next, we're going to focus on this. Also note that this story takes place in 2026. Hope you enjoy!"
