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.
