Cheryl Burke is the first two-time winner of "Dancing with the Stars." Cheryl Burke and her partner singer Drew Lachey stole the show on Season 2 and sensationally won the competition.

In Season 6, Cheryl Burke and Cristián de la Fuente made it to third place, while in Season 5, Cheryl and Wayne Newton finished 10th.

Growing up in San Francisco, California, Cheryl Burke came from a family who all loved to dance. At four years old, Cheryl Burke began taking ballet lessons and performed throughout the Bay area until she was ten. It was at that time that she discovered that ballroom, "wasn't just for old people" and decided to change her focus. Cheryl Burke hung up her ballet shoes and began training in both standard and Latin. By the age of 13, Cheryl Burke was traveling and competing throughout the world, later moving on to win several championships.

In the spring of 2008 Cheryl Burke opened her first dance studio, the highly successful Cheryl Burke Dance, in San Francisco and has plans to open another studio this fall.
