Cheryl Burke is wasting no time throwing a little shade in Abby Lee Miller’s direction. It’s only been one hot minute since she was announced as the new host of ‘Dance Moms’ and she’s already making changes. In fact, she might be looking to become the anti-Abby Lee Miller by becoming a more supportive, but effective dance instructor on the show. And fans are loving it.
Cheryl shared a photo of Abby Lee Miller’s former students Chloe Lukasiak, Camryn Bridges, Nia Sioux and Reagan Martin and captioned it with, “Broke the curse.” Fans expressed their excitement at seeing some old ‘Dance Moms’ faces almost right away.
A lot of viewers are excited to see their favorite dancers like Chloe work with someone more experienced and maybe even level-headed like Cheryl. A lot of dancers left the show over the years simply because they couldn’t handle Abby’s unconventional and often controversial coaching techniques.
So far Abby herself has been very quiet about Cheryl Burke’s role on the show, although there’s a good chance that she was surprised that Lifetime managed to replace her so quickly. After all, Abby thought she was the name and face of ‘Dance Moms’ and without her the show would be nothing. But apparently that’s not the case.
Cheryl has hinted that she has a dramatically different approach when it comes to being a dance instructor. She wants to be more positive and uplifting but at the same time strict. In other words, critics believe that Cheryl will be more professional than Abby ever was as a dance coach.
Plus, a lot of ‘Dance Moms’ fans believe that Cheryl Burke might do a better job at helping the dancers get the results they want at their dance competitions. With Abby, they were stressed and under intense pressure. But with Cheryl, she’ll focus more on technique and self-confidence and getting the results everyone wants.
In the meantime, Cheryl is making it pretty clear that ‘Dance Moms’ will be a totally different show now that she’s in charge. Yet, time will only tell if she’ll be able to bring in the same kind of ratings that Abby Lee Miller did during her seven seasons of the hit Lifetime series. So far Abby Lee Miller has not made any comments about Cheryl’s new post. Also, don’t forget to check back with CDL for all the latest news, updates and spoilers on ‘Dance Moms’ right here!
