I’ve always been super impressed with gymnasts, but this increases my respect. Those flips already look difficult, but you can see that landing them gracefully is another element to master.
right? that's the lesson learned. Gymnasts are beasts that manage to look like princesses on the beam/bar/floor. That's harder than anything else. Making these crazy moves seem easy and graceful. They've always had my respect. Personally barely managed to stay alive in pre-k & first grade aerobics/gymnastics classes, i'm not disciplined enough to do any of the things Derek just pulled off.
@@Just999Me i think this is one of those sports that looks easy because people smile or dance, just like figure skating or ballet, while it is probably one of the most demanding
Well he has most of the strength he needs from dancing all he needs is the technique. The rest of us need to build up strength while learning technique.
I appreciate you for being a big fan. I want you to send me a direct message via Hangouts using my personal email that will be indicated below. Also endeavor to add your name to the text so I can know you are the one texting because I don't respond unnecessary messages. Looking forward to get your message Hangouts mail: derekhughes639@gmail.com
OMG he looks so adorable when he is trying to be a gymnast his laugh is so cute and you can tell h was enjoying every second of it.I love him so much words can't describe how i feel about him.He is the most energetic person I know.He looks like a cute little kid trying to do gymnastic.Love u Derek forever and always
I've ALWAYS loved watching Nastia perform. She just looks so beautiful and fluid--- she has always made the most intricate skills look so simple and effortless, which is the epitome of being great at something. The Onodi is a fave skill of mine, love seeing Nastia do it! Derek did SO great at everything! Wow!
I am so glad your parents put you in dance classes Derek! Mostly because you're one of my favorite pros, and after this because you needed that outlet for your energy so your parents could keep their sanity lol.
Nasia gives such great advice you can mentally visualize. And i was so surprised at how well Derek did! It may seem so easy to do when you’re watch, but flipping and twisting simultaneously is pretty damn difficult !
As a former (child/teen) gymnast and adult professional (modern/ballet) dancer - this was soooo wondrously entertaining to watch! The energy you two have was real and you brought so much joy and laughter throughout the video. And many of the tricks you did were amazing. True about dancing and visual learning. I could see even with just a few more lessons you could definitely stick really get some of the moves and perhaps incorporate into some dancing. Great form...great fun...and commitment. You bring joy and light to all the moments you present and it never feels manufactured whether on DWTS or World of Dance. Thank you for sharing and shining your light for the world...the Universe to witness - all in joy and passion. Keep shining and shaking the Universe.
Interesting and amazing to see Derek Hough doing gymnastics and that he's doing it with his Dancing with the Star's gymnastics dance partner Nastia Liukin.
Derek seems so silly, I'm happy to see you less tense. On dancing with the stars you always seemed a lil stressed. It's a true pleasure to always watch you doing what you love. Thanks for the laughs this was so fun to watch
Loved this Derek. You are so down to earth and never mind showing your human side. You would be perfection in this if you two worked together for hours every day just like she was perfection on the dance floor after your coaching. She should have won. I thank you for so generously sharing your life with your adoring fans. You are an amazing human being. Can’t wait until another Life in Motion video. Keep them coming. It does not matter what you do on these since we love seeing anything you do. By the way, your sense of humor is so enjoyable.
I can’t even imagine doing what either of them do. I have been physically ugly my entire life, (warm, loving heart) uncoordinated and usually ill. Watching these two to me, is like watching two heavenly angels in motion. Thank you.
He is such a good sport for doing this. I really applaud him, it's very down to earth seeing very talented and skilled people try things outside their comfort zones candidly. It's brave, I think moreso than someone who isn't famous/well-known for anything because we have no fame to uphold, no pedestals to potentially shorten. I hope he keeps on being precisely this: passionate, curious, brave, and moving forward.
Love you two together! This was so entertaining, I didn’t want it to end. Now I kinda want to see you do it with Shawn too! Just like, different tricks & stuff. 👌🏼💙
Wow! That was very exciting to watch!!! As a former gymnast, I wish I had someone like Nastia to teach me. Love her techniques. Thanks to you both for a fun and educational video! 😊
More with nastia!!!! I love that he’s a professional @ what he does and she is as well. So cool to see him actually try their moves and see how hard it actually is!!! Maybe a day in the life of?,??? How cool
You did really well!! I was amazed. I know Nastia showed the most basic skills and moves but I seriously doubt I could even do a flip, let alone throw a twist in there. I'd be too afraid of breaking my neck or landing on the wrong body part or something haha.
This was great! Derek you are such a well rounded talented person (music, dance, gymnastics and you seem to be a nice guy 😀). Love your routines on DWTS.
im in xcel gold and am terrified to throw an arabian on tumble trak, and he just outta nowhere does it on floor! like dEREK!!1!1! teach me ur ways!!! 😂💕
@@nikkidafler he is definitely physicaly talented though with strength and coordination, so he isn't starting from nowhere. Whose to say he didn't take tumbling classes in his younger years? Plus, guys are fearless enough to try anything. Sounds like you are commited to your gymnastics, so think of how you have mastered new skills in the past and you'll get the arabian soon enough. I am a dancer, but always wanted to be able to do back handsprings. I could do basics like cartwheels and backbend kickovers, was never courageous enough to go for it even with back walkovers. I'm now middle aged, so I stick with dancing and leave the tumbling to youngsters.
He should have asked for one that starts with H, like his second name. But maybe he hasn't noticed that all the names of the exercises are second names.
I was a gymnast when I was younger so this brought me so much joy and nostalgia! Can’t wait to see what you try next! Maybe aerial silks/pole dancing :) there are circus schools in the LA area my friends attend.
If anyone is wondering, an Onodi is named after the very first gymnast who performed that skill on an Olympics/Worlds stage, Henrietta Onodi of Hungary. Same thing if you've heard about the famous Amanar vault - that was named after Simona Amanar of Romania.
So, what's next? Figure skating? Or maybe snowboarding on stunned lower legs to feel what it's like for Amy? Or playing hockey with your bro-in-law, Brooks?
LOVE this video! So much fun and so funny! Loved your partnership on DWTS and love seeing you again here in Nastia's world! :) I'd also love to see you collaborate with Shawn - she has her own TH-cam channel too! And it would be amazing if you could have a video visiting the Australian Zoo with Bindi showing you all the animals... I would absolutely love it! :D
Derek, I love that your kind of crazy and very funny or vice versa. And that your also not as perfect as we all think you are.😂Thanks for making me laugh.😊😘You were great too Nastia. I hope what you showed him will help him on Ninja Warrior.Haha😁❤
My mom, whose name is Mimi, was upset that in my comment I didn't mention how beautiful a dancer you are and how wonderful your choreography is. Just know there is a little old lady in Texas that just loves you.😊💓
Hi Derek.. I love your "way of being".. Of course I know your "story" and amazing how you have transcended that.. so to speak.. just want to share.. that as we know.. it is about reorientation.. how we are oriented. And as you know.. there is a deeper more stable aspect to our being beyond the conditioning. I have found that through something that not many people know about called "nonduality".. (but that's just a label as well as it is more like "Awareness") seeing that boundaries are just concepts, even the personal boundary. So for me, anything that loosens the sense of identity/boundary in that way is good. I on a venture to share this.. I have hosted many teachers etc already yet have a vision. Reorientated who we know ourselves to be essentially is the greatest gift. Just sharing that with you is a blessing. I love who you are... and... if you would be interested in sharing more and perhaps supporting my vision that will lift the consciousness to see through our storylines of who we think we are as identity, that would be great!! Let me know here or find me on FB Cory Bright. We can change the sense of orientation at it's core for all who are drawn to this.. I have a way of sharing this that is just amazing... would love to share with you further.... Thanks Derek! Enjoy the ride!! :)
"why don't you do it over there?"
"no NaStIa I hAvE tO dO iT lIkE yOu"
I thought I heard nasty
😀
where does he say that
@@LindsayPuggleGirl 2:14
-Are you hurt?
-no, I'm just so scared
Hahaha I loved this video, Nastia is the best.

Derek learned a full in one afternoon, and it only took me like 8 years. Way to gooooooo! lol
Sala ann I’m sure he already knew it
Well it would only take me a couple visits to Dr. Frankenstein and having my consciousness transmitted to an actual athlete.
My bf does ballet and he learned a standing back tuck on the floor in about 10 min. I hate him.
Well he has most of the strength he needs from dancing all he needs is the technique. The rest of us need to build up strength while learning technique.
I know! It wasn't bad either!
Derek has the Soul of a Worrier and the Spirit of a teenager ! 💖💖🙏🙏
@D Leo stfu!!
Erin Vaughn Does he worry a lot? 😊
‘No Nastia, I have to do it like you’ 🤣🤣🤣

This is epic 😂😂😂 the tricks that he randomly decided to throw and Nastia’s reactions. Just everything 😂😂☠️
I think Derek really would have made a great gymnast. Nastia still has all her skills! Her Onodi was 😍
If he was focused he would have done much better than this.
Stina Palm he learned an Arabian and a full off the beam, that’s impressive.
Yeah, she did it so easily and gracefully hahahaha love this skill
OMG he looks so adorable when he is trying to be a gymnast his laugh is so cute and you can tell h was enjoying every second of it.I love him so much words can't describe how i feel about him.He is the most energetic person I know.He looks like a cute little kid trying to do gymnastic.Love u Derek forever and always
*loves Nastia* SO MUCH
Nastia: Do an Onodi.
Derek: **does an Arabian**
😂😂😂
*Derek proudly tip toes off of the beam after one pass* Nastia: “No, no no. You don’t get off” 😂😂😂😂
this is so fun to watch bc i trained with nastia’s parents for like 6 years in texas, and the way she teaches him is so similar it’s cute
I've ALWAYS loved watching Nastia perform. She just looks so beautiful and fluid--- she has always made the most intricate skills look so simple and effortless, which is the epitome of being great at something. The Onodi is a fave skill of mine, love seeing Nastia do it!

I am so glad your parents put you in dance classes Derek! Mostly because you're one of my favorite pros, and after this because you needed that outlet for your energy so your parents could keep their sanity lol.
I never knew I needed this "show" in my life. It's so much fun! Derek should host his own tv show, he has such a wonderful and cheerful personality
Nasia gives such great advice you can mentally visualize. And i was so surprised at how well Derek did! It may seem so easy to do when you’re watch, but flipping and twisting simultaneously is pretty damn difficult !

Interesting and amazing to see Derek Hough doing gymnastics and that he's doing it with his Dancing with the Star's gymnastics dance partner Nastia Liukin.
I would love to see you try and skate with Meryl and Charlie!
Yes! That would be cool one... they can teach him to ice skate.
As a former skater, I would love that too!
I agree ice dancing definitely!
Good idea, he helped create one of their olympic routines so that makes it even more interesting.
Yes!
Derek seems so silly, I'm happy to see you less tense. On dancing with the stars you always seemed a lil stressed. It's a true pleasure to always watch you doing what you love.
Thanks for the laughs this was so fun to watch
I hope you and Nastia are still fitness. Had so much fun watching this video and seeing both of your laughter
Nastia , you are the most beautiful American gymnastic we have ever seen .My whole family just loves to watch you. Good luck with your life.
Loved this Derek. You are so down to earth and never mind showing your human side. You would be perfection in this if you two worked together for hours every day just like she was perfection on the dance floor after your coaching. She should have won.

Nastia's lines 😍 she still got it

MORE NASTIA AND DEREK!!!!!
I would love to see you do a full day of ballet training at Ballet West! I know you are a dancer but ballet is so different from what you do.
I'm pretty sure Derek knows ballet
Most dancers start off in ballet, and go into different genres after they mastered the technique portion of dance.
I can guarantee Derek is very capable of doing ballet lol
Nonnie335 That’s what he started out in lmao
He can do ballet and tap too.
Derek seems like such a fun person to be around! Loved the video and how much fun he was having
He is such a good sport for doing this. I really applaud him, it's very down to earth seeing very talented and skilled people try things outside their comfort zones candidly. It's brave, I think moreso than someone who isn't famous/well-known for anything because we have no fame to uphold, no pedestals to potentially shorten. I hope he keeps on being precisely this: passionate, curious, brave, and moving forward.
I just found this channel and I already love it. Yours and Nastia’s relationship seems so fun.
You two are the best. It’s nice to see how much fun you have. Hope we get to see you 2 dance together again. Love you guys.
Love you two together! This was so entertaining, I didn’t want it to end. Now I kinda want to see you do it with Shawn too! Just like, different tricks & stuff. 👌🏼💙
Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it.
Yes please, another one with Shawn, or better with both 😂
Smart Soul - Yes! I was actually thinking that too....both Shawn & Nastia together 👍🏼
Okay, but Nastia's outfit... Like where can I get it?!
Heaven I believe :-)
clevelandcbi is that a joke
Joe Kinchicken be nice
Getting your period wouldn't be fun tho
Joe Kinchicken you are so wrong. Jessica would look beautiful in anything that she wears.
omg didn't know Derek had a channel but so glad I found it! xx
Nolaxx Yeah...it sucks.
He just started it.
same
Same, he is fun. With all the caos in the world this is relaxing to watch.
Hahahaha!!! That was so fun to watch!! Derek is hilarious (and a quick learner too) and Nastia is a perfect teacher!
Thank you! 💪So glad you enjoyed watching.
Wow! That was very exciting to watch!!!
As a former gymnast, I wish I had someone like Nastia to teach me. Love her techniques.
Thanks to you both for a fun and educational video! 😊
This is really entertaining. You are hilarious and talented and I love you and Nastia's friendship. I love this video and I can't wait to see more.
It’s crazy that he can so easily transfer his past training to gymnastics and so easily doing something so difficult
I just loved watching you have fun Derek. That laugh, smile and just the good time was great to watch.
This was such a fun video!!! Thanks for sharing the fun!
Agree, so much fun and I actually laughed with them.
Ah my two favs. This video was golden. Also, peep Miss Val in the back
thank you!
Derek + Nastia = 😍❤️
emmy tran - I think he’s still with Hayley? But I agree with you 🥰
More with nastia!!!! I love that he’s a professional @ what he does and she is as well. So cool to see him actually try their moves and see how hard it actually is!!! Maybe a day in the life of?,??? How cool
I love you two and the friendship you have! Thanks for sharing with us, this was hilarious 😂❤️
So glad you liked it. Just trying to spread positivity!
Pole Vault! I would love to see you try pole vaulting. It's so much fun!
Derek is probably one of my favorite people to watch!
OMG! Derek, you are truly hilarious! We all should have this much fun!
Yo!!!! I almost died watching this. They were hilarious. No wonder Nastia's bf put a ring on that thing. She and Derek had some chemistry!!!!
When Nastia was walking on the beam with Derek I got a flashback of watching dirty dancing
You did really well!! I was amazed. I know Nastia showed the most basic skills and moves but I seriously doubt I could even do a flip, let alone throw a twist in there. I'd be too afraid of breaking my neck or landing on the wrong body part or something haha.
Loved this! Derek the entertainer/goofball 😂 very impressive moves x
Nastia is a goddess!! I've been obsessed with her for so long, she is the most graceful gymnast I've ever seen. This video is so fun!
😂 This was amazing!!!! Please do more with Nastia!!!
She'll be back, don't you worry!
I LOVE me some Derek Hough!! He's so-ooo funny! The two of the together is everything.
Well done Derek! You picked up on the proper body posture and movement pretty quick! Letting go of fear is tough but you nailed that! 👍🔥🔥🔥🙌👏👏👏👌
There needs to be a part two! I loved this and laughed right along with them!
This was great! Derek you are such a well rounded talented person (music, dance, gymnastics and you seem to be a nice guy 😀). Love your routines on DWTS.
Love you Nastia, Hope to meet you one day. Ds enthusiasm so great💫
this whole video explains why derek is my favorite human on this earth.
This is amazing!!! Love your excitement...you can honestly do ANYTHING! Nastia is a great teacher, too...love seeing you together again! 💙
What the heck I’ve been doing gymnastics for five years and he’s better than me
hahahaha oh c'mon you cannot be this bad hahaha (for the record I can't do a cartwheel or anything at all)

Can i please order a Derek off of amazon? Ill pay the extra shipping
When Derek asked if there was a flip that starts with a D, I really wanted Nastia to scream 'a DELTCHEV' 😂😂
He should have asked for one that starts with H, like his second name. But maybe he hasn't noticed that all the names of the exercises are second names.
Nastia teaching basics is very helpful. I wish she was my coach
Spotter needed - always! You 2 are hysterical though!
are we just going to ignore the fact derek got his full on his first try
What is a full?
@@sogiki A full twist
His stand arabian was spot on as well
I was a gymnast when I was younger so this brought me so much joy and nostalgia! Can’t wait to see what you try next! Maybe aerial silks/pole dancing :) there are circus schools in the LA area my friends attend.
or lyra!
Yes pole dancing - check out Peter holoda on intragram - he is amazing
The Flip Side With Morgan , Where are the gym centers in LA, thanks for asking this ?💫
He’s so fun to watch!!!! Love them together!
I love how he says I can do a front flip and then does a forward roll lol
Loved you two on DWTS together! Your synchronized flip into the foam pit was awesome :)
This is the funniest thing I've seen all day!!
Great video. I love it when I see Nastia relax & allow herself to have fun.
Team Derek all the way !! 👍💪👏💖
Derek, you're my new day maker. Thank you!!!
Derek this is the best video I have ever seen!!
Thank you so much!
Omg, Derek was amazing! You can tell how fit he is since he can do gymnastics with very little instruction.
"All he has to do is touch his knees and he wins gold" 😂😂😂
If anyone is wondering, an Onodi is named after the very first gymnast who performed that skill on an Olympics/Worlds stage, Henrietta Onodi of Hungary.
Same thing if you've heard about the famous Amanar vault - that was named after Simona Amanar of Romania.
So, what's next? Figure skating? Or maybe snowboarding on stunned lower legs to feel what it's like for Amy? Or playing hockey with your bro-in-law, Brooks?
I like the hockey idea also!
He’s such a big kid I love it
well this totally brightened my day! thanks for sharing!!
Thank you! 💪
oMG I JUST FOUND DEREKS CHANNEL AND IM SO HAPPY! I have watched loved derek since i was 3 he was the reason i started dance LOL
Omg this just brightened my day completely!!!!!
This was such a pleasure to watch. Infectious joy!
I love Nastia!!! What a legend.
I’ve looked up to Nastia for so long. Love my fellow Russian sister
I WANT A PART 2!
I think that you should do more videos like this. It was AWSOME.
Love ya Team Houghkin! Y’all was ROBBED on DWTS!!!
On the other hand I find it quite good to go as far as they did under those sircumstances.
Your enthusiasm is so inspiring!! ❤️
I LOL'D the whole video! 🤣 Love to see you enjoy yourself 😀💜
Glad I could make you laugh!
Lol loved seeing Miss Val chillin in the back 😂
Hands down one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. My kids and I laughed so hard. Derek, you have an amazing spirit. :-)

Derrick is hilarious 😂😂 I love how goofy he is😂😂😂 it's great
Aww, I loved the little snippet of Miss Val watching @ 13:07 💕
Idk why but Derek’s 1970’s tv commentator voice got me good 😂😂
I loved watching this! Wish I could hang out with you Derek for a day. I’d have such a fun day filled with laughter.
Derek, I love that your kind of crazy and very funny or vice versa. And that your also not as perfect as we all think you are.😂Thanks for making me laugh.😊😘You were great too Nastia. I hope what you showed him will help him on Ninja Warrior.Haha😁❤
People are always asking him what he can't do... well, maybe gymnastics isn't really his thing.
I've learned to always have a sense of humor when trying new things! It makes it so much more fun :)
Life in Motion with Derek Hough your sense of humor is contagious!! I was laughing the whole time, especially with the bars 😂
