Cheryl Burke recently returned to Dancing with the Stars as a guest judge. Key details:

• She appeared on the Halloween Night episode of Season 34, marking her first DWTS appearance in about three years (she had stepped away from dancing on the show in 2022).

• Burke served alongside the show's established judging panel (Durably noted judges) and offered critiques from the perspective of a long-time pro and former Mirrorball champion. The return was framed as a special occasion tied to the show’s 20th anniversary celebrations.

• Prior to this appearance, she had left DWTS in 2022 after 26 seasons. Her return as a guest judge was described as emotional and meaningful for both her and the audience.

• Media outlets highlighted her mixture of nostalgia and expertise, with interviews emphasizing her feedback style and the thrill of being back in the ballroom, even if only for a night.
