A Dancer who earns by dancing is a professional dancer, it's as simple as that.
A dancer who has a formal training of dancing, is a trained dancer... A trained or un trained dancer, both can be a pro dancer...
Remo or Prabhu deva aren't trained dancers, but they had been professional dancers... A professional dancer shouldn't have problem in picking up steps, unless he is too Poor in dancing, even as a professional dancer...
The people who r using salman khan or BW analogy, if they were not bigger stars in their acting careers, I'm sure they would love to be called a pro dancer, and they would be able to pickup dance much better than Drashti, if they would take part in a dance competition...
Once Remo and Probhu deva used to be called a pro dancer before they climbed up to different careers. But if they come to a dance competition, will you call them non-dancers? Or Trained dancers? Or Pro-Dancers? I'm sure you will call them pro dancers for that show, despite them having other carriers, which are not related to dance.
Similarly, Drashti's acting has nothing to do in JDJ, if we have to categorize her as per her dancing exposure, she has the exposure of a Pro-Dancer. But she is poor at it. She is not a Non-Dancer.
So dance wise, Drashti is a "Poor Professional Dancer" she is no way a non dancer...
