Cheryl Burke joined Dancing with the Stars in 2006, and now after 26 seasons and two mirror ball trophies, she will be dancing her last dance as a pro tomorrow night.
“I am sitting here full of so many conflicting emotions about the words I am about to write…This has been one of the absolute hardest decisions of my life & I am also confident that it is the right one,” the dancer wrote.
“This show has been my 2nd family since I was 21 years old. The cast, crew & fans have seen me through my highest highs & some of my lowest lows, & I honestly don’t know who I would be today without them. I also know that it is time for me to begin the next phase of my career, although dance will always be a part of me. I am excited about the idea of evolving, about being challenged in new ways, having the ability to expand my commitment to mental health advocacy, focusing on my new found love for podcasting, & I’m ready to face the uncertainty (though it’s scary as sh**) of what the future holds – I do have a few things up my sleeves though, so don’t worry 😉”
Burke did not say what is next for her, but I hope Lifetime considers bringing back Dance Moms with her as the teacher. She was such a natural when she did it last time.
