New 'Dance Moms' coach Cheryl Burke promises to bring a positive change to the show

"I want to make sure they don't lose their love of dance"

For the past six years, the Lifetime reality show Dance Moms has alway focused more on the drama and insults than the fancy footwork at the Abby Lee Dance Company, but now that star Abby Lee Miller has left the show, it seems that's about to change.Cheryl Burke will be taking Miller's place, and the Dancing with the Stars pro recently shared some insight into what she thinks the hit show's young dancers need.Miller walked off the show's set just weeks before she was sentenced to 366 days in federal prison for attempting to hide $775,000 of income from the government. On October 17, Burke will make her Dance Moms debut, and says she plans to guide the dancers in a more positive way than Miller had in the past. "The girls told me they were traumatized by Abby," Burke, 33, told People. "I'm strict, but I don't yell. I want to make sure they don't lose their love of dance."Burke won't be the only new thing about this season—dancer Chloe Lukasiak and her mom Christi will be returning to the show after leaving back in season 4. Lukasiak opened up to People about the toll Miller's criticism took on her, and how encouraging it is to have a new coach who understands what the dancers have been through (apparently Burke also has a "crazy" dance mom!)."I think it was, like, in the first season of Dance Moms I mentioned how dancers shouldn't be yelled at for their differences," Lukasiak, 16, told People. "Like I said, my friend Maddie , we were always compared and I said, 'We shouldn't be compared because we have different strengths and weaknesses,' and that's something that Cheryl really capitalized on—how to bring out the best in all.""I understand how these kids feel pressure living in the spotlight," Burke said, referencing the negative online feedback she received after losing 15 pounds in 2014. "I hope I helped them get ready for the real world and gave them things to work on, rather than criticizing how they look or other things they can't change."(h/t People)
