Jan Ravnik was added as a pro on 'Dancing With the Stars,' but former pro Maks Chmerkovskiy doesn't think he has any ballroom experience.
Former 'Dancing with the Stars' professional Maks Chmerkovskiy recently ignited a stir within the dance community by publicly questioning the qualifications of current DWTS pro, Jan Ravnik. Speaking on his wife Peta Murgatroyd's podcast, Chmerkovskiy delivered a passionate critique, stating, "Jan has absolutely no business being a pro on Dancing with the Stars. There's zero foundation, technique, quality, understanding of the partnership." He further elaborated on his concerns, questioning Ravnik's ability to teach and deliver dance messages effectively if he lacks fundamental understanding. Chmerkovskiy expressed frustration that these issues, which he claims to have observed weeks ago, have gone unaddressed. "It is absurd," he declared, "and this is unreal how blind we have to be and, God forbid, say what's obviously there." While emphasizing he holds no personal animosity towards Ravnik, Chmerkovskiy's comments have sparked considerable debate among fans and fellow dancers regarding the criteria for professional dancers on the long-running competition series.
