Is the professional dancer returning to Dancing With The Stars next fall?

Cheryl Burke may be done for the current season, but will she come back?

The 38-year-old dancer has teased that she’s retiring before, but she really seems serious this time.

“A lot of people have asked me if this is my last season. The answer to that question is likely yes, this is my last season, as a dancer that is,” the dancer said on Burke In The Game. “… To have been a part of a show for 26 seasons, it is hard for me [to leave]… I always come back, because, I guess, it’s really hard to say goodbye to a show and to a family, that I’ve only known here in Los Angeles. I moved her when I was 21. I’m 38 now. My body is also telling me to stop and it has been.”
