‘Strictly Come Dancing’: Alja\u017e \u0160korjanec Hits Back At Kristina Rihanoff’s Claims Routines Are Overproduced<\/b>
\n\u2018Strictly Come Dancing\u2019 professional\u00a0Alja\u017e \u0160korjanec\u00a0has hit back at Kristina Rihanoff\u2019s claims the show\u2019s routines have become overproduced.<\/p>\n

The former pro-dancer recently went on record to say she believes the BBC ballroom competition now favours\u00a0\u201ccrazy productions\u201d\u00a0over actual skill, with the use of props and storytelling.<\/p>\n

Alja\u017e has now responded, admitting he sees the criticism as \u201csad\u201d as he believes it brings more to the show.<\/p>\n

Speaking to HuffPost UK, he said:\u00a0\u2033\u2018Strictly\u2019 is an evolving show and it has evolved for years, and only ever for the better.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been doing this now for five years, and every year we come back, the props are bigger, better and we can do more with the production. They only make our jobs so much easier because our ideas and concepts can be portrayed on TV better than they have ever been.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you think that is a bad thing, then that is very sad.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cWe are doing this to put on a great TV show. Obviously, you have to dance but props were introduced way before I was a part of it, but I think they bring a completely different element to everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cWaltzes have been done in a million different ways, but \u2018Strictly\u2019 has seen this all before, so if that means props and doing it bigger and better, so be it. I\u2019ve never understood that problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s people\u2019s opinions, but I do disagree. I don\u2019t mean anything bad, but I love the props.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kristina, who quit the show ahead of the 2016 series, spoke out against bosses following the controversial elimination of Aston Merrygold, following a 1970s-themed Viennese Waltz.<\/p>\n

When asked for her opinion on this year\u2019s stars, Kristina confessed:\u00a0\u201cI\u00a0can\u2019t say that I\u2019m impressed with the dancers this year. Nearly every week we have props and crazy production. Sometimes I just want to see a beautiful Waltz or a Cha Cha Cha.\u201d<\/p>\n

This weekend saw Alja\u017e and partner Gemma Atkinson perform a Samba with a bedtime theme, but it failed to impress the judges and they picked up just 25 points out of a possible 40 for their efforts.<\/p>\n

\u2018Strictly Come Dancing\u2019 airs Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One.
