I am not so sure the general SCD fanbase would go for it though and there would probably be outrage on the message boards.
Derek can be over the top in his mannerisms which can turn people off but you cannot deny he is excellent at choreography and working well with his partner. I would love to see Maks deal with Craig, haha.
DWTS is more used to new pros coming into the rotation and I think one of the SCD pros would be a big hit and would add a new dimension to the show. On DWTS would get to see some truly elegant ballroom which I think all the SCD pros have mastered. I would love it if they brought one of them over to do the spring season.”
Interesting post. I think the inclusion of Brian last year brought a different element to SCD. Defo think one of the Strictly pairings would add something different to DWTS.
The beeb doen't need to make tons of changes just to keep the show fresh, as you say, rotating the professionals and bringing in new profs keeps it fesh, especially if the profs are already known to fans through other dancing shows.
So, yeah, Derek would be excellent for the next SCD series.
