With over 17 years dancing experience and several championship titles under her belt, professional dancer Cheryl Burke, has tangoed and sambaed her way into the hearts of millions through the hit show Dancing with the Stars and recently became the show’s only repeat champion. Cheryl is an Emmy nominated professional dancer, and is currently lending her voice to the Taco Bell Foundation's "Teen Hero Awards".  The Teen Hero Awards highlights young people who have inspired others through their volunteer work in their community.

For Cheryl, dancing is a way of life.  It provides a medium for her to express her inner feelings and passions all while maintaining focus and composure during extremely high-pressure situations. It is dancing that has made her such a competitor, both on and off the floor, and made her strive for perfection in anything that she sets out to do.
