Soon after college, Donie moved to New York City to pursue her passion for dance and to become a professional jazz or contemporary dancer.

But now, she is ready to relive her dream of dancing but also has to juggle a busy personal life, a hectic work schedule, and a lot of responsibilities.

Donie Burch breaks down in 'Dancing Queens'

Donie is joined by her partner Iliah Vinikovskiy in the upcoming Bravo show. The top performer and her partner are determined to show the competition judges that she is one of the best dancers in the country.

According to Bravo, Donie is currently single and her obsession with dance leaves her little room for finding a partner off the floor. Donie seemingly felt conscious about her not being a 'typical' dancer's physique and fears that the judges are rating her appearance more than her ability.

Meanwhile, she also had a breakdown in the latest trailer of the Bravo show after she admitted that she didn't have a dancer's physique. Additionally, Donie cried in the trailer and confessed that she was afraid to fail.

'Dancing Queens' will premiere on May 9, 2023, at 9/8c on Bravo and will be available for streaming the next day on Peacock.
