DWTS three-time winner, Derek Hough is leaving the show...for now.

Derek's leaving his dance shoes on for "Cobu 3D" which is set to begin filming this spring.

The "Romeo and Juliet"-style story will feature "some incredible dance numbers," Hough told the magazine.

"People will see a much edgier side of me and these other styles of dance I'm capable of doing," he added.
