TAO BEACH SIZZLES....Cheryl Burke & Ashley Roberts & Mark Ballas!!

TAO Beach kicked off Memorial Day Weekend with a birthday celebration for Cheryl Burke on Friday. The two time Dancing With The Stars champ, who turned 26 earlier this month, had to delay her birthday party because the hit show was still in progress, but was thrilled to see her cake which was modeled after the trophy from the show. She was joined by friends in a cabana, including dance pro Mark Ballas, who is celebrating his 24th birthday, and original Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts. Mark’s dad Corky even stopped by to hang in the cabana as the group snacked on sushi and sipped specialty cocktails. The two dance pros toasted to getting a break from work but still showed off their moves and Cheryl went to the DJ booth to get on the mic to thank the crowd for helping her to celebrate her birthday. Spotted at TAO Nightclub’s Worship Thursday last night were Washington Redskins Larry Johnson and Clinton Portis, Joe Johnson of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bull Luol Deng.

The man behind the new hit album "Dynasty" took to the turntables just after 2 p.m. to a packed house of dance music fans.
