they would be daft not to but in all honestly I think they would be more inclined to listen to their pro telling them what to do so if the pro listens to Craig and passes on what he is critising.........
Do You Think The Celebs/Dancers Take Notice Of Craig's Technical Criticisms?

Craig has been dancing for years and is properly trained in all forms of dance. Dancing competitive ballroom does not give you a wide repertoire, nor does it make you a good choreographer and a decent teacher - as so clearly evidenced by the training videos.
They'd do well to listen to him. He knows his stuff and he knows about performance - on the stage as well as in a ballroom.

That clip really illustrates how the marking has changed. I don't think that dance would have got less than 30 in the current series.

in ballroom he may know "what he likes" but he certainly does not understand cause and effect concerning in hold ballroom, many of us danced in competition for years and trust me Craig is a very low level ballroom judge
The good job he has achieved is in making himself famous for his waspish comments and the use of the word darling to both sexes

Well they shouldn't the Pros certainly do not! Since he knows very little about technique, he majors on the more ridiculous small points like thumb positions and paddle hands....... Not saying they should not be taken into consideration......... But watch Lens face whilst he delivers his nonsense, they work really hard to produce constantly more difficult routines from series to series, and this is all he still rants on about.
