There are plenty of pro BB / Latin dancers who would gladly take the job as judge on Strictly.
But the show is aimed at a general audience and the BBC seem to think that means they have to include "faces" the general public will have heard of - i.e Alesha, Darcey. Professional bb/lat dancers probably not famous enough for them! They seem to forget that when the show first started pretty well no one, other than dancers, had heard of Len, Craig, or Arlene either, let alone any of the pro dancers!
