Late February it was announced that after 19 seasons REAL dance instructor Cheryl Burke would say goodbye to Dancing With The Stars. And only days ago Abby Lee Miller — the frank, no-nonsense dance instructor from Dance Moms — announced she was quitting the show.

Where oh where will Lifetime find a professional dance instructor with a fiery Paso Doble, a love of the limelight, and marketable character?

Yup. According to Entertainment Tonight, Burke has been recruited to replace Miller for the remainder of the season.

Late Monday evening Miller posted length Instagram post about her decision to leave the show. Based from what she said below, things got murky towards the end when creative differences were left unsettled. “The majority of children that follow me may be fast asleep, however now is the critical time to make the following statement: I WILL NO LONGER TAKE PART IN DANCE MOMS. FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS/ SEVEN SEASONS I HAVE ASKED, BEGGED, AND EVEN DEMANDED CREATIVE CREDIT FOR ALL THE IDEAS, AWARD WINNING ROUTINES, THEMES, AND COSTUMING - TO NO AVAIL! TODAY, I WAS SO PROUD THAT I WENT AGAINST THE PRODUCER'S IDEA (ONCE AGAIN) TO ENTER A COMMAND PERFORMANCE OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE NUMBERS... "WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN GONE?" ALONG WITH THREE BEAUTIFUL SOLOS!"

ALONG WITH THREE BEAUTIFUL SOLOS! I don't have a problem working with any kid, I love children and have dedicated my life to making other people's children successful! I JUST HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEING MANIPULATED, DISRESPECTED, AND USED - DAY IN AND DAY OUT BY MEN WHO NEVER TOOK A DANCE LESSON IN THEIR LIVES AND TREAT WOMEN LIKE DIRT! #dancemoms #season7 #ALDC #aldcalways #newbeginnings #aldcla #alllovedancecourage

She then continued saying that she felt manipulated and disrespected by the network, and that was when she called it quits. While the series drama will soon be behind her, Miller will soon face another set of problems. After pleading guilty to fraud charges, she’s currently awaiting sentencing.

"I'm good. I try to stay positive and happy ... I know I made some mistakes along the way, but I've pleaded to all those,"she said to Entertainment Tonight. "Maybe I need a few months' vacation."

Vacation? I guess that’s one way of looking at prison time?

Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
