'Dance Moms' Season 7 News: Violent Fight Between Moms Erupts in Episode 9; When Will Cheryl Burke Appear?
Fans might need to wait for one more week to see Cheryl Burke take over as the new dance coach in "Dance Moms" season 7.
Before former instructor Abby Lee Miller checked into prison, it was already confirmed that Cheryl Burke will replace her in the show. However, it has been weeks since the season 7B premiere and the pro ballroom dancer still has not appeared on the reality show. Instead, choreographer to the stars Laurieann Gibson was introduced as the Abby Lee Dance Company's (ALDC) new leader during the show's Aug. 15 episode.
According to reports, viewers will be seeing Gibson as the lead choreographer for at least one week more before Burke officially steps in. Lifetime might be making the audience wait to see Burke in action, but the "Dancing with the Stars" alumna hinted that it will all be worth it. She previously revealed that she will be taking a very different approach once she begins working with the young dancers.

"But don't get me wrong, I'm still — from people that have seen me on Dancing with the Stars — I am still strict, I'm stern and I expect the best out of my students. But I do it in a way that's loving and it's caring, and I try not to intimidate them or traumatize the kids."
