Cheryl Burke is Chillin

In between seasons of Dancing with the Stars, Cheryl Burke is taking a break. A long, well-deserved break.

"I'm flying back and forth to San Francisco a lot," she said when asked about hiatus plans, "and also trying to take a vacation. I haven't taken a vacation in three years, because normally we go on tour [in the summer]. I have the time, and the sun, to just chill and relax and spend time in my dance studio."

Why is Burke spending time in Northern California? Because her dance studio opened there on April 4 and it's already seeing a big turn out.

"It's going great," she told TV Guide. "We just had 250 little kids come by wanting to learn how to dance so we're really excited."
