This Monday, on The Real Cheryl Burke will be talking about taking over for Abby Lee Miller on the next season of Dance Moms. I’ve never understood this casting decision. First of all they should have done whatever it took to keep Abby on the show. There is no show without Abby. Barring that, Debbie Allen should have taken over. She has an established dance studio whose name could be used in the competitions. She is also extremely talented.
But Cheryl Burke it is. Which brings me to this video. Has Cheryl Burke always looked like that? I could not stop staring at her ears. If I were on a game show and I was tasked when picking out a photo of Cheryl Burke in a photo line up. I’d bet my money that I could do it. I would have lost. I feel like I have never seen these ears this person before. Is it just me?
Do you think people will tune in to see Cheryl politely prodding the girls to fix their feet while the moms all sit in the bleachers and talk about what a great coach she is?
I suspect the moms will spend most of their time wagging their tongues about Abby’s prison sentence.
I love Cheryl Burke. She is a dance instructor, although we’ve only seen her on Dancing With The Stars. I may just watch just to see how well she works with the dancers.
Oh and to me she looks the same, just with longer hair.
Cheryl Burke does seem to be a very nice person with a great approach to dance and teaching dance. There is the possibility that she will bring out something special in the girls, even though I love Debbie Allen too. As for Abby Lee, one wonders to what extent all her yelling and harsh criticism may have hampered them. We shall see what the difference might be. Will watch, and sorry for Abby’s sentence, even though she could be terribly cruel at times.
I don’t even watch this show and I know Debbie Allen would have been a better fit. She has that sweet acerbic with sprinkling critiques with a couple “honey chile’s)? Cheryl was never interesting in coaching outtakes from DTWS. Excellent dancer tho’
I think Cheryl will be a good fill in while Abby is in prison, then they will bring Abby back.
I hope the show sinks. I’ve watched since day one, I hope they finally appreciate what they have with Abby. Free Abby Lee Miller, LOL
And no, I’m not THE Cheryl Burke (wish I looked somewhat similar, add 25yrs and 100 lbs) 🙂
You’re kidding, right? Abby is awful. She’s so nasty and mean. I think the show will be great without her. We can see more of the dancing and less of the BS.
Nope, not kidding. 🙂
I like Abby and I hope she gets out of jail early and comes back to teach the younger girls. I think the moms behavior was horrid and caused Abby to be so guarded. I would like to see new dancers. I am tired of the same ones that have been on. Abby,Melissa,Mackenzie and Maddie were the stars of the show ,at least to me. Free Abby !
I can’t lie, I never cared for Abby and all her screaming and could never could get into the show ( and this is coming from a kid who learned modern Russian ballet technique under a Vaganova alum . I might check out a few episodes with Cheryl Burke, though. I adore Mother Allen beyond everything, but while I know she’s cool with taking hosting gigs for tv competition, I don’t think she’s trying to take her Academy in that direction, I think she’s more of a purist when it comes to the vision she has for her students. The visual of her cutting up each week would give my heart GREAT joy, though!
Cheryl Burke lost a lot of weight; hence, so much so, her ears began to show. Ha! My sick attempt at humor. Really, she did lose a lot of weight. I think she succumbed to the fat shaming social media and others ridiculed her with. Cheryl was not the skinny, “norm” dancer. Being a great dancer didn’t suffice. She had to be skinny like the other girls. She lost the weight, in my opinion, too much. She now has that bobbled head look.
Oh, and I think Debbie A. would have been an excellent fill in for ALM.
Debbie Allen is way too busy, she is now an Executive Producer on Grey’s Anatomy.
I’m coming back to see Chloe
