Cheryl Burke won back-to-back Dancing With The Stars titles, in Season 2 with singer Drew Lachey and then again in Season 3 with former NFL running back Emmitt Smith. She was nominated for two Outstanding Choreography Emmys in 2006 for her work on DWTS.

Cheryl was a ballet dancer from a young age and began competitive ballroom dancing at 13. She has won several professional Latin dance competitions and runs two dance studios in and around San Francisco.

Cheryl was rumored to have hooked up with Season 2 partner Drew Lachey, though they both have denied it. Bonus DWTS tie-in: Cheryl dated Matt Lawrence, brother of Season 3 contestant Joey Lawrence, in 2007-08.

Cheryl finished in second place with Sex and the City Movie heartthrob Gilles Marini in Season 8 and was paired with former U.S. House majority leader Tom Delay for Season 9.
