PureDWTS Exclusive: Gleb Savchenko Talks A Little To Us On London And Strictly Come Dancing, More Goodies
For those following Gleb Savchenko and “Strictly Come Dancing” this season, we asked him how he was feeling about living in London so far and doing “Strictly Come Dancing”. Below is how he replied back to us…
Gleb to PureDWTS: “I really enjoy London and really excited for the new series. I don’t know who is my partner yet, but we all find out this Saturday. Everyone is really awesome and cool here, I don’t feel like I’m a newbie, but feel like I’ve been doing it for many times, may be its my International experience from before doing the show in 3 other different countries.”
He’s the “International Dancing With The Stars Pro” for sure! And right after he replied to us, he met his partner. See this instagram and keep scrolling for more afterwards….
Exciting. Let’s do this!
Also, OK! Magazine has a special feature up on Gleb today in getting to know him better. Below is a take from the link. I love that he’s not a party guy and he keeps his private life with Elena to himself, but, says he’s very happy. #AwwwwSweetMoment
2. Twerking’s not for him
Despite being amazing at all types of dance, one he admits he can’t do is the twerk. Shame!
3. Sorry ladies, he’s married
He’s with dancer Elena Samadanova, but he’s not so keen to talk about his private life. He said: “It’s just not something I’m really talking about that much. But I’m very happy.”
4. No partying
Gleb is not the kind of man you’ll see out at every showbiz event. He said: “I’, not really a party person. I like to have a good sleep because we’re dancing all day and we start early in the morning.” Sensible.
5. Model life
In addition to dancing, Gleb has modeled for several brands and has even danced with Jennifer Lopez in a L’Oreal commercial.
And here is a video “getting to know Gleb” (and the other new pros of Strictly Come Dancing” even further.
LOL to Gleb not “twerking”.
Don’t forget to watch the Launch Show tomorrow. We’ll be posting a new post for the show at that time.
REMINDER:
Launch Show

Still trying to know the pros on Strictly. Honestly, I’m more excited to watch this than DWTS 🙂 DWTS has become a bit predictable. If you whine and loud, like Val, you get what you want. Tired of the “everyone gets the trophy mentality”. I’ll still be watching Derek though because whether you’re a fan of his or not, the guy’s talent is undeniable. Also Mark. I’ll be working this Saturday but can’t wait to watch Strictly on YouTube if someone is kind enough to upload the show 🙂
Have to say Strictly is what DWTS used to be. No game, just shut up and dance. Watching some of the Strictly pros number last night makes me think Mandy Moore choreo has become stale. Ok Gleb and Tristan, I can’t wait to watch you dance.
Same here, Thiana. I love our version of DWTS still (even tho I get aggravated for the same reasons), but, I’m really looking forward to SCD too (especially after watching DWTSRussia last season and it was so awesome). I love the diversity.
What Vogue said – me to.
I followed Gleb last season on DWTS Russia and it was fabulous. Looking forward to SCD and watching Gleb. I have missed watching Tristan dance so that will be great to.
Watching DWTS this Season will be limited for me.
Sad to say that Mandy’s choreo was stale when she got to DWTS. Put one of her numbers up against the huge pro number that Derek and Chris Scott did (with Derek and Jessica Lee Keller as lead dancers) and you’ll see a huge difference.
Isn’t that the truth, Heidi! Since Mandy has taken over a lot of the dances, the choreo has only went down hill.
