Dancing with the Stars: Terrell Owens and Cheryl Burke Dance Dazzling Cha Cha to ‘Ain’t Too Proud to Beg’

Kicking off the “Dancing with the Stars” season 25 premiere are Terrell Owens and returning pro Cheryl Burke, dancing a cha cha to “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” by The Temptations.

Len Goodman says the couple got the party started and really entertained him. “It was full of fun, it was full of energy,” he adds. But he warns Owens to watch his feet and to dance fully. They score a 15 out of 30.
