Finally, something with Gleb Savchenko (I swear….what are these producers trying to do to me?). He talks on rehearsals so far and gives hints on his new partner for Dancing With The Stars Season 23. Gleb also talks on Elena, Olivia, and his new baby. From People…
“I can’t tell you who my partner is yet!” the pro dancer, 33, tells PEOPLE. “She’s very easy-going and so fun. That’s all I’m going to say!”
But there is a lot Savchenko is able to say about returning for his fourth season of the ABC dance competition.
As he gears up for the Sept. 18 premiere, the pro opens up about welcoming a second daughter with wife Elena Samodanova earlier this month, how Samodanova serves as his muse and what he thinks about his competition for season 25.
How have rehearsals been going so far?
It’s very important that you listen to your partner and try to create routines that let her shine. The beginning of the season is all about listening and learning about them and their strengths. As long as they are emotionally open to trying things and telling their story, then choreographing is very easy. There are fun dances, emotional dances and dramatic dances, so it’s different every week, and I enjoy pushing myself to my limits and trying new things.
You became a dad for the second time on Aug. 1. Are you exhausted?
When they tell you your second kid isn’t as life changing as having your first kid, that’s absolutely not true. It’s been absolutely life-changing. It’s a new life and it’s amazing. All my girls are doing amazing, and I love them so much. I was on tour with DWTS, but I was able to fly back to them and spend time with them, and now I’m back in L.A. getting ready for the show, but they’re going to be coming here soon. I’m looking forward to being a father to these two cutest little girls. It’s great that [older daughter Olivia, 6] can help, too. She can kind of babysit and watch her if we need to do something for a second. It’s great. The house is full of toys. It’s just awesome.
