We are still a few weeks away from
Cheryl Burke’s debut on Dance Moms, but she is already talking about the Lifetime show to
Us Weekly.
She told the mag that the week before Abby Lee Miller quit the show, she had met with the producers. Then her manager heard that dance teacher was gone, so he offered up his client as a replacement.
What was her take when she joined the show? She described it as, “It was tough, there were a lot of tears, anger and insecurity. It was shocking to me. I couldn’t believe these beautiful girls that have zero confidence. That’s not the way to live life.” Then she explained why she thinks they are like that, “They said they’d been traumatized by Abby and her teaching methods. That’s a shame because with teenagers it’s so important to mentor them.” And she says she mentors the young dancers without raising her voice at them. She might not be a screamer like Miller, but she is not easy on them.
To see how she teaches Chloe, Nia, Kalani, Kendall and Camryn, you will have to tune into Lifetime starting on October 18th.
