New fans of Dancing With the Stars may not know Cheryl Burke ’s name, but they’re about to become well accustomed with her when she hits the judges panel for Tuesday’s night Halloween-themed episode.

Burke is a two-time mirrorball champion herself, following in the long line of former professional dancers turned temporary, one-night only judges. She’s embedded in the DWTS history books, joining the show during its second season in 2006, where she won and went on to additionally win season three.

Burke spent her final year in the ballroom as a competitor in November 2022 during season 31, and it was truly only a matter of time before she traded dancing shoes and spray tans for a judges paddle and seat at the table.
