Burke had a guest role on the Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, in the episode "Loosely Ballroom" along with fellow Dancing professionals Louis van Amstel, Ashly DelGrosso, and Lacey Schwimmer. She portrayed Shannon, a nurse attending to the ensemble cast during a dance contest at the series setting, The Tipton Hotel. In the final round of the competition, Burke's character volunteers to replace an ill competitor (Carey). She and her partner, Esteban, go on to win the competition.
She came in second on the first season of I Can Do That, losing to Nicole Scherzinger on the final three-person-super-group performance, having led the competition since week 2. She replaced Abby Lee Miller on Dance Moms in 2017.[8] She took over the ALDC Elite competition team while on the show. The team was then named “The Irreplaceable’s” via when Abby used to call them all “replaceable”.
Burke appeared on Hell's Kitchen as a VIP guest diner in the ninth episode of Season 17.

Personal life
In 2011, Burke released her autobiography, Dancing Lessons. Included in it is a description of how she, at age 5, was molested by a handyman helping her family, who repeatedly fondled her. Her sister was also abused by the same man, later identified as Gerry Depaula.[9] She believed it was wrong but wanted to gain his affection.[10] Burke testified against Depaula at age 6, leading to the molester being sentenced to 24 years in prison from which he was released in 2008.[9][11] Burke said that she is fearful of Depaula.[12]
Burke has done numerous promotions outside of Dancing with the Stars which include Depend Silhouette briefs, Impress Nails and Sargento Cheese. Her partnership with these companies has raised a lot of money including $50,000 dollars that Depend is donating to Dress for Success.[13] She opened her first dance studio in April 2008 and created her own line of activewear the next year.[14]
In 2017, People and Us Weekly reported Burke is dating Matthew Lawrence.[15][16] The two first met in 2006, when Lawrence's brother, Joey was cast on DWTS. Burke and Lawrence previously dated from 2007–2008.[17] Lawrence proposed to Burke on May 3, 2018, her 34th birthday.[18] On May 23, 2019, she married Lawrence in San Diego, California.[19] Burke suffers from tendonitis.[20]
