'DWTS' fans up in arms over 'pro' Charli D'Amelio competing against non-dancer celebs

Longtime fans wondered why new viewers on Disney+ were surprised to see Charli D'Amelio perform well as she is already a trained dancer

Fans were in awe after watching Charli D'Amelio jive with Mark Ballas. The couple hit the floor in the premiere episode and gathered the highest score from the judges. However, longtime fans wondered why Charli was brought on the show as a "celeb dancer" and not a "pro dancer" because she already has years of experience in dancing.

Charli, in her shimmery red dress, grooved and shimmied on 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 31 and showcased some amazing dance moves. But these moves wouldn't have been easy for other celeb contestants to copy. And, the reason being that Charli is already a trained dancer. Fans criticized the reality show's producers, claiming that Charli being on the show is not "fair" to the other celebs on the show, who are amateur dancers at best.

Fans believe Charli has unfair advantage

'Dancing with the Stars' is a dancing competition show where celebs are paired with professional dancers. Generally, these celebs don't have a dancing background and it takes a lot of effort for them to rehearse and perform in a live show. However, this time the situation is different. One of the celebs, Charli, is already a trained dancer but is featured in the show while competing against non-trained dancers. After seeing Charli groove like a pro in the recently released episode of 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 31, fans slammed her and the show for featuring her. A critic wrote, "#DWTS see what I don’t get is you get #charlidamelio someone with dancing background and dances all day on some stupid app and the best pro dancer on the show and you expect it to be fair how Tf u put that up against a lady with MS shame on you!!!!!" Another one called out the reality star, saying, "You wouldn’t even be here without stealing black girls’ choreography so there’s that." Moreover, fans also argued how her presence on the show is not great for others. A critic wrote, "y’all love to discredit @charlidamelio for dancing on TikTok, forgetting that she’s a trained dancer bro!!! like I don’t know why y’all are surprised she’s doing well on dancing with the stars SHE HAS BEEN DOING DANCE FOR YEARS smh."

Besides taking note of Charli being a pro dancer, fans accepted that her dance was on fire. A fan wrote, "Holy crap, @charlidamelio got the highest score of the night. Her first dance was just that good. #DWTS." Many felt impressed and proud of Charli for doing so well. One of her fans tweeted, "I AM SO PROUD OF YOU CHARLI! you danced beautifully I'm very excited !!! I'M IMPRESSED @charlidamelio @dameliofamily." A few of the keen-eyed fans took notice of more than Charli's moves on the dance floor. One of those fans claimed, "Charli D'Amelio Bra Slips During Performance on Dancing With The Stars."
