	Games - Cheryl Burke

Cheryl Burke (born May 12 1984) is a professional dancer based in New York City. She partnered with Drew Lachey in Dancing with the Stars second season on American television's ABC network; Burke and Lachey were named the winners of the competition in February 2006.

Early life

Growing up in San Francisco, California, Cheryl came from a family that loved to dance. At four years old, she began taking ballet lessons and performing throughout the Bay Area. When she was ten, she discovered ballroom dancing and decided to change her focus. She hung up her ballet shoes and began training in both standard ballroom and latin dances. By the age of thirteen, Cheryl was competing and traveling all over the world. She attended Las Lomitas School and graduated from Menlo-Atherton High School in 2002. Cheryl is half Filipino and half Caucasian.

Dancing

For Cheryl, dancing is a way of life. It provides a medium for her to express her inner feelings and passion all the 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.

Cheryl says that her dancing style is unlike anyone else's. She takes pride in being a "rule breaker" and feels that her greatest achievements in dancing are still to come.

Awards and honors

Honors include 2005 World Cup Professional Rising Star Latin Champion UK Championships and 4th in U.S. in the "Under 21s."

Outside Her Dancing Career

She and her long-time dancing partner Jose Decamps have been dating for more than two years and the couple currently live in New York City. They both train, dance, and work very hard to be the best competitors they can be.
