Val Chmerkovskiy, a professional dancer on Dancing With the Stars, has voiced his critiques regarding contestants on season 35's 'The Next Pro.' During a recent episode of his podcast, Stepping on Toes, Chmerkovskiy discussed his observations.
He specifically called out AJ Pritchard, a former professional on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, for what he perceived as arrogance while competing with partner Selena Hamilton. Chmerkovskiy felt this attitude was detrimental to the contestant's presentation.

Chmerkovskiy suggested that if Pritchard already believed he was sufficiently skilled, he should not have signed up for the competition.
