It also benefited the person who otherwise would have been eliminated from the semi-finals. They would have lost out on $50k for not being in the Finale.

Salaries for more experienced partners can be negotiable and go up to $5,200 per episode. The reported cap for a professional dancer is $100,000 per season.

Incredibly unprofessional to do so in my mind," he said on the Dec. 3 episode of the Lightweights Podcast. "Because I'm here as their teacher and as their partner. And I'm probably, in some way or another, in a position of authority to them. [A] don't shit where you eat kind of thing comes into play." Val went on to clarify that he was fine with romantic activities between partners that happened ultimately after the season. After all, a number of celeb/pro pairings have found their "happily ever after" from the show, including Kym and Robert Herjavec and most recently Britt Stewart and Daniel Durant. The difference, in his opinion, comes from letting those advances take precedence while rehearsing non-stop to stay in the competition. "Behind closed doors," he noted, "I undermined my own season by doing that." * * * “If it's genuine, it's awesome," he admitted. "When it's authentic and it’s two consenting adults enjoying their time together, I love that.

tv echo December 7 Share December 7 (edited) DWTS Alum Cheryl Burke Criticizes Show Judges, Says They Should 'Educate Themselves' By TooFab Staff 12/6/2024 https://toofab.com/2024/12/06/cheryl-burke-slams-dwts-judges-ballroom-dancing/ Quote Dancing with the Stars alum Cheryl Burke is calling out the judges of the reality competition series over their ballroom dancing expertise, or as she believes, lack thereof. On Wednesday's episode of her Sex, Lies and Spray Tans podcast, the professional dancer slammed the show's judging panel -- which includes Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough -- for not being "experts" in ballroom dancing, saying they need to be more educated in the genre in order to be more "strict" in their critiques. While answering fan questions on the episode, Burke -- who appeared on 26 seasons of DWTS before retiring in 2022 -- responded to a fan who asked if she believes the ABC series "should go back to being stricter as it pertains to true ballroom dancing." She said she does, before explaining why. "You have to know what you're talking about, right?" she said. "They have to be able to back up whatever they say. ... If you're just saying things because you know it's the right terminology, and you can't explain yourself as to why it should be a certain way, then it's kind of hard -- unless they get judges that have more ballroom experience than some of the current ones that are seated there as of last season." "You can't really be more strict in a genre that you're not an expert in is my point," Burke continued. "And maybe that is why the show isn't as strictly ballroom as it used to be because you got the majority of your judging panel [who are] not experts in the niche of ballroom dancing." "I think that, just like the pro dancers have to continue to educate themselves on their craft, I also feel like the judges should do the same," she added. The two-time DWTS champion went on to stress that she believes the judges should take the adjudicator's exam in order to further educate themselves and become an expert in dance. According to the National Dance Council of America (NDCA), the purpose of the exam -- which includes written and theory review portions -- "is simply to assure that all of the Adjudicators of the NDCA, while having different ranges of careers and expertise, should all have a common base line of knowledge in all styles and a clear knowledge of what responsibilities they have as an adjudicator." "Derek should take his adjudicator's exam. Carrie Ann should do it, so should Bruno," Burke said. "I think that's important, and why wouldn't you wanna do that? After all these years, if you weren't as familiar with the genre, why don't you familiarize yourself with it?" "Or maybe they have, I don't know. I'm not them," she added.

DkNNy79 December 11 Share December 11 I actually agree with Cheryl. There is a reason most of the pros took Len’s criticism more seriously than the other judges - because he was an actual ballroom dancer. Carrie Ann and Bruno are not ballroom dancers. They don’t know the technique like Len or Derek. But hiring them to judge a ballroom competition is on ABC. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7549-in-the-media-dwts/page/75/#findComment-8529755
Andiethewestie December 11 Share December 11 I took time off of the show for a few seasons because it was getting to be too much of a celebrity coddle than a reality dance competition. When Mark took Ballroom and Latin to an exciting level with Charli I thought the show was coming back. Unfortunately It's getting further and further away from ballroom and Latin so I doubt I'll watch next year. The social media trends bore me, they seem childish and unnecessary and they are mere fillers when the show used to be so good with better video packages like Dance Centre and the confessionals. Now the show just relies on TikTok with asinine lip syncing and viral moments instead of dance. The quality of ballroom and Latin is terrible amongst most of the contestants and it's just not worth my time 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7549-in-the-media-dwts/page/75/#findComment-8529875
