Choreographer Mandy Moore may have set a record for mentions during an Academy Awards broadcast earlier this year. As La La Land, the Hollywood darling and dance movie throwback, won award after award it seemed everybody pointed out the astounding work of choreographer Mandy Moore. It’s been an age since a choreographer was so prominently feted in Hollywood. So it’s only right that Moore joins the megahit Dancing With the Stars as a guest judge for DWTS: ‘A Night at The Movies’, subbing in for Julianne Hough. Who is this modern-day Martha Graham?

The 4-time Emmy nominee Moore is no stranger to the set of DWTS; she has choreographed numbers for the show. (Host Tom Bergeron calls Moore “key member of the family.”) She’s also choreographed for So You Think You Can Dance. When Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper dance in Silver Linings Playbook? That’s Moore, too. Not only that, you’ve seen dancing by Moore on the Primetime Emmys, Modern Family and Sid the Science Kid. She’s worked with Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, Tim McGraw, and Shania Twain to name just a few. And with brands like Amazon and Skechers.
