Supporting her former partner. Coach Monica Aldama, star of Netflix’s Cheer docuseries, exclusively told Us Weekly about her relationship with Dancing With the Stars pro Val Chmerkovskiy and why she isn’t surprised that he might leave the hit show.
“I’m definitely grateful that I had the opportunity to work with him. I think we both taught each other a lot,” Aldama, 51, told Us in an interview before the New Year. “I’m not surprised at hearing that just because I know he’s kind of an entrepreneur himself and he has a lot of different ideas.”
Chmerkovskiy, 35, hinted that he was ready to leave Dancing With the Stars in November 2021, right after he was eliminated from season 30. “I love the show. I love being on it. I am so grateful for the opportunity. Is this my last season? Probably,” the professional dancer, who was last partnered with Olivia Jade Giannulli, told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I have no regrets about my tenure on the show. I have no regrets about the season.”
Aldama was partnered with the Ukraine native in 2020 for season 29 of DWTS, which she says was her favorite opportunity to come out of Cheer‘s runaway success on Netflix. In her new memoir, Full Out: Lessons in Life and Leadership From America’s Favorite Coach, which was released Tuesday, January 4, the coach explained that she could see the professional dancer having success in many other avenues.
“He really is very talented. He’s very creative, not just in dance, but he’s just very artistic and very creative,” she explained to Us in late 2021. “He could really honestly do so many different things. I don’t have a clue what his plan is, but he does own a lot of dance schools around the country.”

Jennifer Maas TV Business WriterRival Texas schools Navarro College and Trinity Valley Community College each were paid $30,000 for their participation in the second season of Netflix’s “Cheer,” a price that was set in the initial location fee agreement between Navarro and the show’s production company before “Cheer” became a smash-hit streaming sensation.As first reported by Variety‘s sister site Sportico, “In 2018, Navarro signed a deal with a production company in which the school agreed to be paid $30,000 for the rights to film a season of a then-untitled cheerleading documentary, according to a copy of the rights agreement obtained by Sportico.”The pact has a built-in exclusive option for “Cheer” producers to renew at the same $30,000 fee each year for five additional academic years, giving the production company “exclusive rights to film and exploit the Cheerleading Athletics as part of the Series” during the contract’s term period. “Everybody thinks we made a million dollars off of the show, and as you can see from the contract, we did not,” Stacie Sipes, Navarro’s director of marketing and public information, told Sportico.Sipes says that Navarro hasn’t seen its student body increase based on the popularity of Netflix’s Emmy-winning “Cheer,” which launched just before the pandemic and features Navarro’s head cheer coach, Monica Aldama, and her team.“We have had declining enrollment,” Sipes told Sportico.
