Now it seems Cheryl Burke may be ready to waltz away to other things.
'As of now, this is probably going to be my last season,' the 30-year-old told Good Morning America host Melissa Rycroft on Monday. 'I want to try new things and just see what's out there.'
Her bombshell came the same day the 19th season of the popular show was due to return to the small screen. She is partnered with actor and former Calvin Klein model Antonio Sabato Jr.
The dancer joined the other professionals for a practise session on Saturday, looking fit and ready to go in a pink and black spaghetti string top with side cutouts and skin-tight black leggings.
Cheryl has been on DWTS since its second season in 2006 and was the first female pro-dancer to win - nabbing the coveted Mirrorball trophy that same year with singer-actor Drew Lachey.
She won again at the end of 2006 in the third season, dancing with Emmitt Smith, a pro-football player-turned-TV sports host and realtor.
Dancers rarely quit the show. Julianne Hough left after season eight but is back this year as the show's first-ever fourth judge on the panel.
And Maksim Chmerkovskiy dropped out for season six and missed the 16th and 17th cycles before making a triumphant return to win last May dancing with Olympic skater Maryl Davis.
But in July, he announced that he wouldn't be returning.
Although this may be Cheryl's last season she's going all out to win it, posting two Instagrams reminding viewers to vote for her and Antonio.
In a selfie with the hunky 6ft celebrity, she wrote: 'You ready to cha cha? @antoniosabatojr and I are up first tonight on @dancingabc! #dwts #dwts19 #chebatojr'
The second is pure promotion, showing a screen with the pair's phone-in number and instructions to call in, saying: 'Are you ready for @dancingabc tonight?? Add @antoniosabatojr and me to your contacts so you're ready to vote after we dance! #dwts #chebatojr 1-800-868-3402.'
