Can the world ever get enough of Derek Hough shirtless?

No.

Isn't that one of the big reasons we you watch Dancing With the Stars?

Well, now you can see the hottie show some skin in Make Your Move, an upcoming dance flick that marks his big screen debut.

And only E! News has an exclusive photo of Hough dancing without his shirt on and dancing with his costar, K-Pop megastar BoA.

In the movie (in theaters on April 18), a romance blossoms when Donny (Hough) sees Aya (BoA) performing with her hip-hop crew at an underground nightclub in New York City. But in a Romeo and Juliet twist, they find themselves at the center of a bitter rivalry between their brothers' dance clubs.

Make Your Move was written and directed by Duane Adler, the writer behind Step Up and Save the Last Dance.

"He's really a triple threat," fellow DWTS dancer Anna Trebunskaya once told us about Hough. "He's a great actor, dancer, he can sing... I've actually seen him three years back before Dancing With the Stars on the West End in London and he was the lead in Footloose and he was excellent!"

Hough's sister, Julianne Hough, left DWTS to pursue an acting career. She landed a role in Burlesque and was the female lead in the Footloose remake three years ago. She also appeared in Rock of Ages with Tom Cruise and Safe Haven opposite Josh Duhamel.
