Dancing with the Stars - Season 16 Professional Dancers

GLEB SAVCHENKO

CELEBRITY PARTNER:  Lisa Vanderpump

BACKGROUND:

Gleb was born in Moscow, Russia and began to dance at 7 years old. 

He was such a well-rounded child, training in swimming, gymnastics, karate and tennis. However, dance is where he was noticed to have a gift and from that point Latin and Ballroom styles became his main focus. 

Gleb continued his studies at the Moscow Theatre Arts University, graduating from the Russian Theatre Arts University with a Masters in Choreography. 

Gleb won his first major title in October 2007 at the International Rising Star Professional Latin Championship in London. He then continued to win six Professional Latin Dance Championships and was ranked #10 in the World in the Pro-Latin American division by the World Dance Council ranking awards. He has toured internationally and has appeared on the Australian version of Dancing With The Stars.

We are looking forward to him joining the Season 16 cast.
