If you are a fan of Cheryl; you will enjoy the bookBy Fern C.Summary: Cheryl Burke; former professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars; tells about her experience working on Dancing with the Stars as well as her childhood; including sexual abuse by a family friend.Pros: Im a big fan of Cheryl and Dancing with the Stars so I was very interested to read this biography. I learned some interesting things I didnt know about Cheryl; such as she was very camera shy when she first started on television. I am also a childhood sexual abuse survivor; so it was inspiring to read about Cheryls experience; particularly when she went to trial to testify against her abuser. This was very similar to my experience; and so I was particularly interested in this section.Cons: The book is slightly disjointed and jumps around following styles of dance; rather than anything chronological. The book was also written awhile ago; so there is nothing about her recent partners. There is also very little new information about Dancing with the Stars or much a fan wouldnt already know. It seems that the book was written too early. I think Cheryls career and life will continue to become more nuanced and interesting and I would rather read a book written by her five years from now versus one from a few years ago.Conclusion: If you are a fan of Cheryl; you will enjoy the book but you wont learn much you didnt already know.30 of 31 people found the following review helpful. Liked Cheryl before; LOVE her even more now!!!By Joan DavidsonI sat down this morning with my book club selection and thought about reading some more of it but I knew that this book had been delivered to my Kindle a few days ago and was dying to get a taste. Im a crazed DWTS fan and have always respected Cheryls immense talent; but was leery that this book might be a trivial let down; I was wrong!!!I decided Id sneak a taste and that turned into a 4 hour cover-to-cover read with YouTube stops along the way. What a treat!!! Her words made me laugh and they also brought a few tears to my eyes as well. Cheryl and I share the same hometown of the Bay Area and Im also half Asian and Caucasian; so Ive always kind of related to her on some level and although Im 19 years her senior; Ive always felt a kinship to her. This book is a really easy; entertaining; heartfelt and self-actualized read. I was tremendously surprised at her maturity and overall sense of accomplishment; not just in her professional life but at the adversity she has had to rise above. She seems to be a woman whos really tried and succeeded at learning the lessons we all learn in our twentys and not making any excuses for them or justifying any lack of responsibility for their existence. I commend her as there are many people far older still trudging that beaten road!If you are a fan of dancing in any way; I think you will find this a fulfilling way to spend a few hours! And thanks Cheryl; for your honesty and candid words; they were a joy; as are you.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An interesting insight into the real Cheryl Burke.By Jeffrey the BarakMs. Burke told her story well. It was interesting to understand how she developed from a young competitive ballroom dancer into a worldly public figure; and to hear how she surmounted the issues of her new-found public life as well as the personal issues she had from her childhood experience.It would be interesting to read an autobiography or biography of her mother after reading this. She sounds just as interesting as Cheryl.The title is apt because through dancing; Cheryl learned the lessons of interaction with other people and entities; how it can go badly wrong; and how it can go amazingly well.
