I see some of the scd pros as my colleagues, so it saddens me to say I believe if the dwts pros were to meet the scd pros in a "proper" competition, the scd pros may well be found - overall - to be a tad lacking.
That's not to say I like everything they do on dwts. For example, I thought the slapstick V.Waltz Louis devised for Margaret was just unnecessarily silly for the sake of being silly; but then the scd pros have sometimes put together ridiculous routines as well. However, that doesn't take away their talent as dancers.
